An enterprise deployed a Cisco SD-WAN solution with hub-and-spoke topology using MPLS as the preferred network over the Internet. A network engineer must implement an application-aware routing policy to allow ICMP traffic to be load-balanced over both the available links. Which configuration meets the requirement?
To configure ICMP traffic to be load-balanced over both MPLS and Internet links for application-aware routing in a Cisco SD-WAN solution, the configuration needs to specify multiple preferred colors. This ensures that traffic is distributed across both specified links if they meet the SLA criteria. The configuration in option A meets this requirement by using 'sla-class ICMP_SLA preferred-color mpls public-Internet', which sets both MPLS and Internet as preferred paths, allowing for load balancing when both are available and meet the SLA.
Ans should be A sla-class sla-class-name preferred-color colors—To set multiple tunnels to use when data traffic matches an SLA class, include the preferred-color option, specifying two or more tunnel colors. Traffic is load-balanced across all tunnels. If no tunnel matches the SLA, data traffic is sent through any available tunnel. In this sense, color preference is considered to be a loose matching, not a strict matching, because data traffic is always forwarded, whether a tunnel of the preferred color is available or not. When no tunnel matches the SLA, you can choose how to handle the data traffic: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/sdwan/command/sdwan-cr-book/config-cmd.html#r_sla_class_3907.xml search for preferred-color

A is correct for sure.
