Why each option
To ensure Service VPN 100 exclusively uses the MPLS circuit and drops traffic upon its failure, the TLOC action must be configured as 'Strict'.
A TLOC action of 'Strict' in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN mandates that traffic designated for a specific transport, such as MPLS for Service VPN 100, must use only that transport. If the designated transport link becomes unreachable or fails, any traffic attempting to use it will be dropped, preventing failover to other available circuits like Business Internet.
Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) distributes traffic across multiple equal-cost paths, which is contrary to the requirement of using only one specific circuit.
'Primary' typically designates a preferred path but usually allows for failover to a 'Backup' path if the primary fails, which doesn't meet the 'drop traffic' requirement.
'Backup' designates a path to be used only when a 'Primary' path fails, which is the opposite of the requirement to exclusively use one circuit and drop traffic upon its failure.
