Company A has recently acquired Company B and needs to establish network connectivity. Company A has only Cisco for firewalls and VPN. Company B is using VMware SD-WAN. Which VMware SD-WAN Cloud VPN…

Question

Options

• ABranch to Non VMware SD-WAN Site.
• BBranch to SD-WAN Hub
• CBranch to Main Office VPN
• DBranch to Branch VPN

• A
  81% (21)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)
• D
  12% (3)

Explanation

Option A is correct because "Branch to Non VMware SD-WAN Site" is specifically designed for interoperability scenarios where one side of the VPN uses VMware SD-WAN and the other side uses a third-party IPsec-capable device - exactly the case here with Company A's Cisco firewalls.

Option B (Branch to SD-WAN Hub) is wrong because it assumes both endpoints are VMware SD-WAN devices; Company A runs Cisco, not VMware SD-WAN. Option D (Branch to Branch VPN) is similarly wrong - it connects two VMware SD-WAN branch edges together, which requires VMware SD-WAN on both sides. Option C (Branch to Main Office VPN) is not a real VMware SD-WAN Cloud VPN topology option and serves as a plausible-sounding distractor.

Memory tip: Focus on the word "Non" - whenever a company that doesn't own VMware SD-WAN is involved (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc.), you need the Non VMware SD-WAN Site option. Ask yourself: "Is the other side running VMware SD-WAN?" If no, pick A.
