How is internet access provided to a WAN edge router that is connected to a MPLS transport link?

The correct answer is D. TLOC extensions are used to route traffic to a WAN Edge router that is connected to the Internet. In an SD-WAN architecture, internet access is provided to a WAN Edge router connected to an MPLS transport link by leveraging TLOC extensions.

Why each option

In an SD-WAN architecture, internet access is provided to a WAN Edge router connected to an MPLS transport link by leveraging TLOC extensions.

AOMP advertises a default route from a WAN Edge router that is connected to the MPLS and

OMP advertises routes, but TLOC extensions are the specific mechanism for signaling direct internet connectivity from a WAN Edge to the SD-WAN fabric, which is distinct from merely advertising a default route.

BInternet access must be provided at the WAN Edge router through either a 4G/5G link or local

This describes how a WAN Edge obtains internet access (e.g., via 4G/5G or local DIA) but not how it provides or routes internet access to other routers in the SD-WAN overlay.

CAn extranet must be provided in the MPLS transport network to allow private traffic to reach the

An extranet in an MPLS network facilitates secure connections between different organizations' private networks, not a general mechanism for providing internet access to internal SD-WAN WAN Edge routers.

DTLOC extensions are used to route traffic to a WAN Edge router that is connected to the InternetCorrect

TLOC extensions are a critical feature in Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) that enable a WAN Edge router with a direct Internet connection to advertise this capability to the vSmart controller. This allows other WAN Edge routers in the fabric to forward internet-bound traffic to that specific WAN Edge, effectively centralizing or regionalizing internet access.
