You are asked to ensure symmetric traffic flows between two SD-WAN branches. Which feature should be enabled to achieve this objective?
Symmetric Forwarding is the correct Versa SD-WAN feature for ensuring that return traffic between SD-WAN branches follows the same SD-WAN path on which the forward traffic was received. Versa documentation for SD-WAN traffic steering describes Symmetric forwarding as the option that specifies the path for reverse-direction traffic, meaning whether traffic returning from the destination branch to the originating branch should be sent on the same path on which it arrived. It further states that enabling symmetric traffic forwarding determines the reverse path for traffic returning from the destination branch to the originating branch.
This is different from Symmetric Routing, which is a routing design goal or behavior, not the Versa SD-WAN forwarding-profile feature named in the product documentation. Equal-Cost Multipath can distribute flows across equal-cost routes, but it does not specifically guarantee that both directions of the same SD-WAN session use the same path. Packet Striping is used to split or distribute packets across multiple links for performance, not to enforce bidirectional path symmetry. Therefore, the verified Versa feature to enable is Symmetric Forwarding.
A branch device is stuck after staging. The Controller does not show the expected branch lifecycle notification. Which statement best describes the role of MP-BGP in the provider organization for this process?
The correct answer is A. Versa branch troubleshooting documentation states that the provider organization should have MP-BGP configured for SD-WAN deployments so that notifications for all relevant branch events are delivered to the Versa Director node. This is significant during onboarding because branch lifecycle events, such as branch-connect and branch-disconnect, help Director determine where the branch is in the staging process and whether the next configuration push should occur.
MP-BGP does not replace IKE or IPsec. The branch still establishes IKE/IPsec to the staging server or Controller depending on the staging phase. MP-BGP also has nothing to do with URL filtering category updates. While BGP can be used in LAN or WAN routing designs, the specific issue described here concerns provider-organization SD-WAN control-plane event delivery.
Therefore, if branch lifecycle events are not appearing properly, validating provider-organization MP-BGP configuration is part of the correct troubleshooting workflow, especially in addition to checking data-path and IPsec connectivity.
Examine the exhibit below. You are onboarding the SOLDEU-R2 branch device using the staging script. You cannot get a Versa-Provider-Controller-VR IP address assigned, indicating that the IPsec tunnel to the corrector has not come up. You verified that the cables have been connected to the correct ports. What has caused this issue?
The issue is caused by specifying the incorrect WAN port in the staging script. In the exhibit, the SOLDEU-R2 branch is physically connected to the Internet cloud through vni-0/0, while vni-0/1 is shown as the inter-device link toward SOLDEU-R1. However, the show interfaces brief output shows that the WAN IP address 192.168.122.121/24 has been assigned to vni-0/1.0, not to the Internet-facing interface. Since the cables are confirmed to be connected correctly, the mismatch must be in the staging script interface selection, not in the cabling.
Versa documentation states that during SD-WAN staging, the branch establishes an IKE session with the Controller, and after that the Controller assigns an IP address to the branch device. Versa troubleshooting guidance also states that after transport connectivity to the Controller is established, the branch forms IKE-based IPsec connectivity, and if this succeeds, the ptvi interface toward the Controller comes up. If IKE/IPsec fails, the ptvi interface remains down. Because the staged WAN IP is placed on the wrong VNI interface, the branch cannot reach the Controller over the intended Internet transport, so the Controller tunnel does not come up.
A VOS branch has two WAN circuits. You suspect the configured transport domain mapping is wrong because one link is not building the expected SD-WAN path. Which VSM control-plane command is most useful to check local WAN circuit information, transport domains, NAT status, and local tunnel-site details?
The correct answer is A. Versa SD-WAN data-path troubleshooting documentation instructs administrators to connect to the VSM control plane with vsh connect vsmd and then use show vsm p2mp local-tunnel-sites 0 to check the status of local site objects. The example output includes the local site key, neighbor IP, site type, site name, branch ID, tenant ID, and detailed WAN link information. It also shows fields such as WAN local VRF ID, WAN local link name, circuit information, link ID, behind-NAT status, shaping rate, public and private addresses, link flags, transport domain, and SLA interval.
This command is therefore highly relevant when validating whether the local SD-WAN site has learned and built the correct WAN transport objects for overlay tunnel creation. If a circuit is mapped to the wrong transport domain or has incorrect NAT/public/private address state, the local-tunnel-site output is one of the best places to confirm it.
The other commands are useful for software version, CGNAT summary, or CPU usage, but they do not show the detailed SD-WAN local tunnel-site transport mapping.
Examine the exhibit below. Referring to the exhibit, which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)
The correct answers are A and B. In the exhibit, the LAN interface shows a fixed VLAN ID value of 100. Because this value is directly configured in the template rather than represented as a per-device variable, every branch that uses this template will receive the same LAN VLAN ID. This supports option A. Versa configuration examples show that VLAN-tagged interfaces are created by defining logical units with a vlan-id, and organizations then use those tagged interfaces for traffic identification and routing services.
For the MPLS WAN network, the VLAN ID field is shown as a variable or bind-data style value rather than a fixed number. This allows each branch device to receive a different MPLS VLAN ID during onboarding, depending on the branch-specific values supplied in the workflow or device bind data. Therefore, branches can have separate VLAN IDs on the MPLS WAN transport, which supports option B. Versa SD-WAN troubleshooting output also shows WAN interfaces as logical VNI subinterfaces, such as vni-0/1.0 and vni-0/2.0, mapped to SD-WAN transport networks like INET and MPLS.
Option C is incorrect because an INET interface can be untagged, commonly represented with VLAN ID 0. Option D is incorrect because the MPLS VLAN field is intentionally parameterized, not incorrectly configured.
