   A regional bank with 40 branch offices is planning an SD-WAN rollout. The network team has been asked to assess the existing architecture. The CIO wants the assessment to focus only on the WAN edge and the links connecting branches to the two data centers, explicitly excluding the campus LAN and data center spine. During the inventory phase, the team discovers that 12 branches use a managed service provider for their routers and firewalls, and the bank does not have administrative access to those devices. Which action best aligns the assessment scope with the CIO's directive?

   • ASkip the 12 managed branches entirely and base the SD-WAN design only on the 28 branches where the bank has full device access.
   • BDocument the managed devices as 'black boxes' with known WAN-facing IPs and circuit IDs, and note the managed service provider as a stakeholder for the SD-WAN transition.
   • CExpand the inventory to include the full campus LAN switch configuration at each branch to ensure the SD-WAN appliance will integrate with all access-layer VLANs.
   • DRequest administrative credentials for the managed routers from the service provider before proceeding with any other assessment activity.
