A customer currently has 150 Mbps of capacity at a site. Records show that, on average, a total of 30 Mbps of bandwidth is used for the two links. What is the appropriate Prisma SD-WAN license for…

Question

Options

• A50 Mbps
• B175 Mbps
• C250 Mbps
• D25 Mbps

• A
  74% (37)
• B
  14% (7)
• C
  4% (2)
• D
  8% (4)

Explanation

Prisma SD-WAN licensing is based on average bandwidth consumption, not total link capacity. Since the site averages 30 Mbps of actual usage, the 50 Mbps license tier is the correct fit - it's the smallest tier that adequately covers the 30 Mbps average without being undersized.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• D (25 Mbps) is tempting as the smallest option but would be undersized - it cannot cover the 30 Mbps average usage.
• B (175 Mbps) is wrong because it's slightly above the 150 Mbps capacity, not the usage - it confuses capacity with consumption.
• C (250 Mbps) is the most overprovisioned and completely ignores actual usage data.

Memory tip: Think "what are you actually using?" not "what is the pipe capable of?" - SD-WAN licensing follows consumption, so find the next license tier above your average usage. Here: 30 Mbps average → pick 50 Mbps (the next step up that fits).
