An enterprise is deploying SD-Access in a campus. They have two data centers, each with a connection to a public cloud. They want to ensure that if one data center's connection to the cloud fails, traffic from the fabric can still reach the cloud through the other data center. They also want to avoid a single point of failure in the fabric control plane. Which design should be implemented?

Deploy redundant border nodes in each data center and redundant control plane nodes, and connect the fabric to both data centers.

Deploy redundant control plane nodes but a single border node in each data center.

Deploy a single border node in each data center and a single control plane node in the campus.

Deploy a single border node in one data center and rely on the cloud provider's redundancy.

An enterprise network connects to a public cloud provider using a dedicated private connection that does not traverse the public internet. Which connectivity option is being used?

Direct connection (e.g., AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute)

Site-to-site VPN over the internet

A data center network uses a pair of switches in each tier. The network team wants to ensure that if a switch fails, the other switch can take over without requiring endpoints to change their default gateway IP address. They also want to ensure that a supervisor failure on one switch does not cause a routing protocol convergence event. Which combination of features should be implemented?

HSRP between the switches and SSO on each switch.

SSO and NSF on each switch, and HSRP between the switches.

VRRP between the switches and SSO on each switch.

HSRP between the switches and NSF on each switch.
