VNX100 Exam Dumps - Versa Certified SD-WAN Associate

To configure an SD-WAN branch so that Internet-bound traffic uses the local Internet link, the Service Chain Template is used. This template is part of the Director Workflows and allows the local breakout of internet traffic directly from the branch, bypassing the central or regional breakout points. This is an essential component of the Versa Secure SD-WAN design, where traffic intended for the internet can be directed through the most efficient route, often through a local Internet link at the branch site, instead of being backhauled to a central location.​

An SD-WAN Forwarding Profile is a set of rules that determine how outgoing traffic should be handled within the SD-WAN network. It particularly defines which WAN links should be selected for forwarding the traffic based on certain criteria such as link performance, priority, and SLA compliance. The Forwarding Profile ensures that traffic is directed over the most appropriate link, which may involve decisions based on the link's performance metrics like latency, jitter, or packet loss, ensuring efficient and optimal use of the WAN infrastructure​​.

To require users to justify their access to specific types of websites, such as social media sites, theCaptive Portal (Answer D)feature is used. This feature intercepts users' web requests, redirecting them to a portal where they must authenticate or provide justification for accessing the requested site. It is particularly useful in enforcing corporate policies and ensuring that access to certain types of sites is for legitimate business purposes.

References:The use of captive portals for controlling and monitoring access to web resources is a common practice in network administration, as outlined in Versa's configuration guidelines for secure network access and user authentication protocols.

Versa Analytics has the capability to not only generate customized daily reports on bandwidth usage for all sites in the network but also to schedule these reports to be sent via email. This function allows administrators to receive reports without having to log into the Versa Analytics portal, streamlining the process and ensuring that they have the necessary information on a regular basis​​.

When a Versa CPE security policy rule is configured to generate and send logging information on policy hits using the Default Logging Profile, Versa Analytics is the component that would allow you to view these logs. Versa Analytics provides extensive visibility into network traffic and security events, which includes logging information from security policies in action.​

The Versa Stateful Firewall feature encompasses a range of security capabilities, including Unified Threat Management (UTM), which may comprise antivirus, IPS, and web filtering services. It also provides Zone Protection, which enforces security policies based on the zones defined in the network to protect network segments. DDoS protection and DUP are also vital security functions, but they are not specified as capabilities within the Stateful Firewall feature set in the documents provided.

When a customer has a single Versa Analytics cluster deployed in a data center with the Versa Director and Versa Controller nodes distributed between the data center and disaster recovery sites, and the data center goes down for one day, logging and reporting will be lost during the one-day downtime (D). Versa Analytics plays a crucial role in collecting, processing, and presenting data for monitoring and reporting purposes. Its deployment in a single data center without active redundancy means that its failure or unavailability directly impacts the network's ability to perform logging and generate reports. However, the SD-WAN CPE live monitoring (A), the deployment of new SD-WAN CPE (B), and the reachability between SD-WAN CPE (C) could still be maintained through the remaining operational elements of the SD-WAN architecture, assuming that the Versa Director and Versa Controller can still manage the network despite the loss of analytics capabilities​​.

In the event of a network outage, to verify the live status of the WAN links, Versa Director device monitoring dashboard and Versa Analytics sites availability dashboard are the tools to use.These components provide real-time visibility into the status and health of WAN links, allowing for rapid identification and troubleshooting of connectivity issues.​
