A global enterprise is considering Catalyst SD-WAN to replace a legacy MPLS network. They have a mix of large and small sites, and they are concerned about the cost of upgrading edge devices at small sites. What is the most cost-effective approach for the small sites?

Use the smallest cEdge model that meets the site's bandwidth requirements

Use virtual cEdge routers on existing hardware

Keep the legacy router and use a separate SD-WAN gateway

A service provider wants to offer Catalyst SD-WAN as a managed service to multiple customers. They plan to use a single vManage instance to manage all customers. What is a significant limitation they should consider?

Edge devices cannot be used for multiple customers

vSmart controllers cannot be shared across customers

vBond orchestrator cannot authenticate devices from different customers

vManage cannot manage multiple tenants

A service provider is evaluating Catalyst SD-WAN to manage thousands of small customer sites. They are concerned about the operational overhead of deploying and managing edge devices at each site. Which limitation of Catalyst SD-WAN is most relevant to this concern?

The requirement for a dedicated vBond orchestrator per region

The complexity of managing a large number of edge devices and their configurations

The need for a vSmart controller at every site

The need for manual configuration of each edge device

Part of the 1.0 Architecture domain, which accounts for 15% of the 350-401 exam. Cisco does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~8–12 in this domain), expect 2–3 from this objective — we provide 37 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
