What is the main purpose of using TLOC extensions in WAN Edge router configuration?

The correct answer is C. creates hardware-level transport redundancy at the local site. TLOC extensions are used in WAN Edge router configurations to create hardware-level transport redundancy at the local site, linking two WAN Edge routers over a common transport network.

Why each option

TLOC extensions are used in WAN Edge router configurations to create hardware-level transport redundancy at the local site, linking two WAN Edge routers over a common transport network.

Atransports control traffic to remote-site WAN Edge routers

TLOC extensions relate to data plane transport redundancy, not to transporting control traffic to remote WAN Edge routers, which is handled by the vSmart controller.

Bcreates an IPsec tunnel from WAN Edge to vBond Orchestrator

TLOC extensions facilitate communication between WAN Edge routers for transport redundancy, not the initial IPsec tunnel establishment to the vBond Orchestrator.

Ccreates hardware-level transport redundancy at the local siteCorrect

TLOC extensions allow a WAN Edge router to share its local TLOC information with an adjacent WAN Edge router over a dedicated local link. This creates transport redundancy, ensuring that if one WAN Edge device or its direct transport link fails, the other can still forward traffic for the site using the shared TLOC.

Dtransports control traffic to a redundant vSmart Controller

TLOC extensions provide data plane transport redundancy between WAN Edge routers, not for transporting control traffic to a redundant vSmart Controller.
