A township board wants SCADA traffic to prefer MPLS while guest traffic prefers Internet across the SD-WAN overlay. Which policy type primarily influences that overlay pathing from the controllers?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Centralized control policy is the city planner drawing preferred roads on the overlay map—SCADA on MPLS, guests on Internet—pushed from the controllers. Storm-control on a museum port and ISP IS-IS tweaks are different layers of the problem. DHCP pools do not steer overlay colors.
Full Explanation
Centralized control policies in Cisco SD-WAN are defined in vManage and applied via vSmart to influence OMP attributes such as preference, TLOC preference, and topology. That is the correct lever for preferring MPLS for SCADA versus Internet for guest overlays. Localized policies handle on-box behaviors; they are not the primary tool for network-wide path preference. Access-port storm control and invisible ISP IGP metrics do not implement overlay application pathing intent.
