300-415 · Question #344

What is the purpose of a TLOC extension interface?

The correct answer is B. provides access to the transport of its neighboring WAN Edge router. A TLOC extension interface allows a WAN Edge router that lacks direct connectivity to a WAN transport to reach that transport through a neighboring WAN Edge router's transport interface.

Why each option

A TLOC extension interface allows a WAN Edge router that lacks direct connectivity to a WAN transport to reach that transport through a neighboring WAN Edge router's transport interface.

Agives access to business Internet

Providing access to business internet is a general SD-WAN transport function, not the specific purpose of the TLOC extension feature.

Bprovides access to the transport of its neighboring WAN Edge routerCorrect

TLOC extension is configured on a LAN-side interface to logically extend a neighbor's TLOC (and thus WAN transport access) to a device that does not have its own direct WAN transport connection. The device using the TLOC extension shares the neighboring WAN Edge router's transport, appearing in the overlay as if it had connectivity to that transport.

Cforms an alternate connection to a connected transport

TLOC extension is not an alternate or redundant path to a transport the device is already connected to; it provides access to a transport the device cannot reach on its own.

Dsynchronizes the configuration with the neighboring WAN Edge router

Configuration synchronization between neighboring WAN Edge routers is handled by OMP and vManage, not by the TLOC extension interface.
