An administrator needs to configure SD-WAN to divert traffic from the company's private network to an ISP network. What action should be taken to accomplish this goal?

Why each option
To divert traffic from a private network to an ISP network in Cisco SD-WAN, an administrator should configure a data policy.
Control policies primarily influence the control plane by affecting route advertisements and policy distribution, rather than directly manipulating data plane forwarding for specific traffic paths.
Data policies in Cisco SD-WAN are used to manipulate data plane traffic forwarding, allowing administrators to define how specific traffic flows are steered across the overlay. To divert traffic from a private network segment to an ISP network, a data policy would be configured to match the traffic of interest and direct it out through the appropriate WAN interface connected to the ISP.
Data security policies focus on encryption, authentication, and access control for data traffic, not on diverting traffic paths.
Application-aware policies are a specific type of data policy that classifies traffic based on application, but the broader mechanism for traffic diversion is the data policy itself.
