Why each option

The "one switch at a time" SD-Access integration method is suitable for diverse network environments and helps preserve existing hardware investments during phased upgrades.

Aappropriate for campus and remote site environmentsCorrect

This approach provides flexibility, allowing organizations to integrate SD-Access into different parts of their network infrastructure, from large campuses to smaller remote sites, without requiring a complete overhaul.

Ballows simplified roll back

Rolling back a "one switch at a time" integration can be complex as it involves directly modifying existing production infrastructure and disentangling new configurations.

Cinvolves the least risk of all approaches

Directly modifying existing production infrastructure, even gradually, can introduce operational risks, making it potentially riskier than a parallel fabric deployment.

Dopens up many new design and deployment opportunities

This integration method focuses on migration and adaptation rather than enabling entirely new network design paradigms, which are inherent to SD-Access itself rather than this specific adoption strategy.

Eideal for protecting recent investments while upgrading legacy hardwareCorrect

By integrating devices one by one, organizations can continue to utilize their functional, recently purchased network equipment, extending its lifecycle while strategically upgrading older, legacy hardware to support SD-Access capabilities.

Fallows simplified testing prior to cutover

Testing with a "one switch at a time" approach often occurs directly within the live production environment, which can complicate isolated pre-cutover testing compared to a parallel deployment.
