If an Anti-DDoS defense solution is deployed in the network, which of the following is not a necessary configuration of the management center?

Question

Options

• AConfigure defense strategy
• BAdd Anti-DDoS devices
• CConfigure protection objects
• DConfigure traffic steering

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  9% (4)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  84% (38)

Explanation

Option D is correct because traffic steering (diverting suspicious traffic to scrubbing/cleaning centers) is configured at the network layer - typically on upstream routers via BGP or policy-based routing - not within the Anti-DDoS management center itself. The management center's role is policy definition, device oversight, and protection scope, not routing control.

• A is wrong (it IS necessary): Defense strategies define how and when the system responds to attack patterns; without them, the Anti-DDoS system has no rules to act on.
• B is wrong (it IS necessary): The management center must register and recognize its Anti-DDoS devices before it can manage or push policies to them.
• C is wrong (it IS necessary): Protection objects define which IPs or assets are being defended; without specifying targets, the system doesn't know what to protect.

Memory tip: Think of the management center as the brain, not the plumbing. It thinks (strategies), knows its tools (devices), and knows what to guard (protection objects) - but the actual traffic re-routing pipes belong to the network infrastructure, not the brain.
