The correct answer is B: affinity. TLOC affinity is the feature in SD-WAN that minimizes the number of TLOC connections and reduces strain on the vSmart controller.

WAN for Enterprise Networks

Question

Which feature minimizes TLOC connections and reduces strain on the vSmart controller in an SD-WAN architecture?

Options

Acontrol-direction
Baffinity
Ccolor
Dcontrol-connections

Explanation

TLOC affinity is the feature in SD-WAN that minimizes the number of TLOC connections and reduces strain on the vSmart controller.

Common mistakes.

A. Control-direction is not a specific Cisco SD-WAN feature or configuration command that minimizes TLOC connections or vSmart strain; it refers to the general flow or preference of control traffic.
C. Color in SD-WAN defines the characteristics of a transport network connection (e.g., internet, MPLS); while used in policies, 'color' itself does not minimize TLOC connections, but rather categorizes them.
D. Control-connections refers to the connections from vEdges to the vSmart controller to exchange routing and policy information, but it is not a feature for explicitly minimizing data plane TLOC tunnels or reducing vSmart strain.
