A museums and culture department needs transit between SD-Access fabric sites across the metro region. How does SD-WAN commonly fit that design?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
SD-Access runs the museum campuses; SD-WAN is the metro shuttle between them. You don’t rip out every fabric edge—you hand traffic to SD-WAN at the border for site-to-site transit. Two fabrics, one job each.
Full Explanation
A common cross-domain design uses Cisco SD-WAN as the transit overlay between SD-Access sites, with appropriate border/handoff integration rather than replacing campus fabric edge nodes wholesale. That preserves SD-Access segmentation locally while SD-WAN provides scalable inter-site transport and policy. Collapsing VNIs into an unstructured single service VPN or running raw VXLAN only on VPN 0 without controllers misses the intended integration model.
