Actual exam question from Cisco's 300-420
Question #: 101
Topic #: 1
[All 300-420 Questions]

An architect is working on a design to connect a company's main site to several small to medium-sized remote branches. The solution must include redundant
WAN links, but the customer has a limited budget and wants the ability to increase the link speed easily in the future. QoS will run on the branch routers, so there is no need for consistent end-to-end QoS. Which solution does the architect propose?

  • A. dual-homed WAN MPLS with single-edge router
  • B. dual-homed Internet with a single-edge router running a site-to-site VPN topology
  • C. dual-homed WAN MPLS and Internet links via dual-edge routers
  • D. dual-homed Internet with dual-edge routers running a hub-and-spoke VPN topology

Hub and spoke. The main site will be the hub and the branches the spokes. You could even use something like DMVPN to set up the links dynamically and while you're at it you are setting up the company for future expansion (more branches).

I would go with Hub and spoke rather than site to site, and what's the point of two WAN links with a single router ? despite the limited budget dual homed router make sense.

I am definitely going with B here. DIA is cheaper than MPLS Single edge router is cheaper than dual edge routers

Selected Answer: B
First of all, these answers suck. An internet connection is usually cheaper than an MPLS 2 routers cost more to operate/own than 1 That being said C & D are out because both solution state "dual-edge" routers. The cheapest solution between A & B is B because B is an internet link, and A is an MPLS link. Further more it mention that "there is no need for consistent end-to-end QoS.", well with MPLS we can ask/require for SLA's in our contract, with an internet connection we cannot. That leaves me with answer B.

I would prefer B as following reason, 1. limited budget 2. does not mention about spoke to spoke connectivity in the requirement. so D is not best in the suitation. the VPN may configure as GRE IPSec or under VTI

The reason for B is the fact that the customer has limited budget.

That does make sense... They mention only redundant WAN links and limited budget... It might imply that they would be fine with only one router.
