Which characteristic applies to a traditional WAN solution but not to a Cisco SD-WAN solution?
Which characteristic applies to a traditional WAN solution but not to a Cisco SD-WAN solution?
Traditional WAN solutions often have lengthy installation times due to the need for physical infrastructure and dedicated circuits, which can take weeks or even months to set up. In contrast, Cisco SD-WAN solutions are designed to be faster to deploy because they leverage software-defined networking technologies, which simplify and expedite the setup process. Other characteristics such as centralized reachability, security, and application policies, low complexity and increased overall solution scale, and the use of DTLS/TLS authenticated and secured tunnels are more aligned with the benefits of SD-WAN solutions rather than traditional WANs.

you can answer this question without even knowing thing about SD-WAN. this question is boasting about cisco technologies, only answer A seems to be pejorative so it would apply to standard SD-WAN, not GODLIKE CISCO SD-WAN SOLUTION.
Agree, This is controversial question by Cisco to promote their products.
I think A because B is listed as an SD-WAN characteristic on https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/enterprise-networks/sd-wan/what-is-sd-wan.html#~benefits "A single, centralized, cloud-delivered management dashboard for configuration and management of WAN, cloud, and security"
Cisco flex question
from my personal experience Cisco's SD-WAN solution can be a real sh!t show and ends up taking more time than traditional WAN. But obviously that's not the answer they're looking for :)
agree. CCNP is created by Sales people lol.
A is correct Compared to traditional WAN deployment, SD-WAN enables enterprises to deploy wide area networks 100x faster with 3x the cost-savings. https://sase.vmware.com/sd-wan/sd-wan-vs-traditional-wan#:~:text=Compared%20to%20traditional%20WAN%20deployment%2C%20SD%2DWAN%20enables%20enterprises%20to%20deploy%20wide%20area%20networks%20100x%20faster%20with%203x%20the%20cost%2Dsavings.
this is really strange , look at this question from dumps i have: what is a characteristic of a traditional WAN? A low complexity and high overall solution scale. B centralized reachability,security, and application policies. C operates over DTLS and TLS authenticated and secure tunnel. D unified data plane and control plane. and they put B as a correct answer , suprise !!!
Shouldn't this be D, as the traditional WAN has a unified data plane and control plane; and the SD-WAN has a separate data plane and control plane?
It can be B
B https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-traditional-wan-and-sd-wan/ Security: Traditional WANs are typically highly secure, as they use dedicated circuits and leased lines to ensure data confidentiality and integrity. Reliability: Traditional WANs offer reliable connectivity, as they use dedicated circuits that are typically highly available and have low latency. Control: Traditional WANs offer complete control over network traffic, allowing organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic over others and configure routing policies as needed.
B traditional WAN solution with centralized reachability, security, and application policies
