The policy shown in the exhibit appears to match traffic flows based on multiple conditions involving the source zone and the application. Given the information in the screenshot:

• The policy is configured with multiple zones as source zones:Intf-LAN1-ZoneandIntf-WLAN-Zone.
• An application is specified:SHAREPOINT.

The policy is likely to be applied to traffic originating from either of the specified zones and specifically related to the SharePoint application. This implies that both conditions related to the source zones are not mutually exclusive but rather a union; the same goes for the application condition.

Given this interpretation, the correct set of conditions that match the policy shown would be:

B.Traffic flows that meet any of the following two conditions:

• Source Zone - Intf-LAN1 Zone
• Source Zone - Intf-WLAN-Zone

In addition, the below condition must also match:

• Application - SharePoint

This means that traffic will match the policy if it comes from either theIntf-LAN1-Zoneor theIntf-WLAN-Zoneandis SharePoint application traffic.

However, to be more precise in the context of Versa SD-WAN configurations, it's important to note that policies are usually applied when all conditions within a single rule are met. If the configuration in the screenshot intends to express that traffic is matched if it comes from either of the two zones and is for the SharePoint application, then the correct answer should reflect this logic. If the configuration system is set up to require all conditions in a rule to be met, then the answer could potentially be different. Since the user interface design can sometimes vary, it’s important to understand the specific logic of the system in question.

The diagram in the exhibit illustrates a hub and spoke topology where the spokes connect through a central hub. This is evident from the dashed lines that show the data flow between the spokes is mediated by the hub (Hub1). In this topology, while the spokes may have direct connections, the data flows between them pass through the hub. This kind of topology is commonly used in SD-WAN deployments to simplify routing and policy enforcement, which are managed centrally at the hub, as opposed to setting up direct paths between all spoke sites, which would be indicative of a full mesh or spoke-to-spoke direct topology.

The Direct Internet Access (DIA) option in the configuration of split tunnels for an SD-WAN device, as shown in the exhibit, is a feature that allows traffic destined for the internet to bypass the SD-WAN overlay network and be sent directly out of the local branch’s internet connection. This can significantly improve access to cloud services andinternet performance by reducing latency and avoiding backhauling traffic through the corporate data center or another central location.

When DIA is enabled, traffic that is destined for the internet does not traverse the SD-WAN overlay network; instead, it is routed directly from the branch to the internet. The SD-WAN appliance can still enforce security policies on this traffic, and it can also be programmed to dynamically decide whether to use the DIA path based on real-time performance metrics and other criteria.

By implementing the BGP default route advertisement into the local LAN Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) of the tenant, the SD-WAN appliance advertises a default route to the local site. This allows the site to route internet-bound traffic directly to the internet without having to send it across the SD-WAN network. This eases the internal network traffic load and can potentially reduce costs associated with data transmission over the corporate WAN.

Versa Analytics and Versa Director support REST APIs, which allow integration with third-party applications and systems. The REST APIs provided by these components enable automation and programmability for various network management and analytics functions. Versa Controller and Versa CPE are not referenced in the provided documents as supporting REST APIs directly, although they interact with Versa Director, which does.​
