VNX301 Exam Dumps - Versa Networks Administrator SD-WAN Specialist Questions and Answers

The correct answers are A and C . The route table shown in the Versa SD-WAN design documentation includes a default route, 0.0.0.0/0 , with next hop 169.254.0.2 and exit interface tvi-0/603.0 . A default route is used when no more specific route exists in the routing table, so any unknown IPv4 unicast destination will follow that active default route through the tvi-0/603 interface. This directly supports option C.

The same design context describes local or central internet breakout, where Director workflows create TVI-based connectivity for breakout or gateway-style forwarding. In Versa SD-WAN, TVI interfaces are commonly used as internal virtual tunnel interfaces between routing instances, such as between a tenant LAN VR and a transport or breakout VR. The documentation also describes virtual TVI interface pairs being created by Director workflows between VRs for gateway routing use cases. Therefore, option A is also correct: tvi-0/603 is paired with another interface in another VR to support the default-route forwarding path.

The IP address is not shown as misconfigured; 169.254.x.x addressing is commonly used for point-to-point internal TVI links. The route is also not a blackhole route, because it has an active next hop and an exit interface.

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.

The correct answer is A . During Versa SD-WAN onboarding, the branch uses the staging server only in the early part of the process. Versa documentation states that in Stage 1 , the branch starts an IKE session with the staging server, receives an IP address, and is informed of the Versa Director IP address. In Stage 2 , Versa Director pushes the stage-two configuration to the branch through the staging server. In this stage-two configuration, the Controller IP address is given as the remote IP address in the IPsec profile , and the branch is rebooted. After reboot, the branch should establish the IKE session with the Controller.

If the branch keeps trying to connect to the staging server after the stage-two reboot, the most likely issue is that the stage-two IPsec profile still points to the staging server or does not contain the correct Controller remote IP. Analytics, DHCP, and URL filtering settings do not determine whether the branch moves from staging-server connectivity to Controller IKE connectivity.

The correct answers are A and C . If the onboarding VPN tunnel from the branch device to the Controller is up, the branch has reached at least the initial staging/control connectivity stage. Versa troubleshooting documentation explains that after a branch establishes IPsec connectivity to the Controller, the Controller sends a branch-connect notification to Versa Director. In response, Director pushes staging configuration and continues the onboarding lifecycle. If the expected later notification is not seen, the branch has not completed staging and further onboarding/debug steps are required.

The Tasks list in Versa Director is useful because device deployment and onboarding actions are executed as Director tasks. If template commit, workflow deployment, device claiming, or configuration push fails, the task output can show the error. The Unknown Devices dashboard is also relevant because a device that reaches the Controller but cannot be matched or fully associated with an expected workflow/appliance record may appear as an unknown device awaiting administrative review. The Monitor dashboard is not the best choice because the device is missing from the Appliances list and has not completed onboarding. Resource Pool is related to connector resources, not branch onboarding completion.

The correct answer is A . The exhibit shows that the IPsec VPN is being configured with Tunnel Routing Instance: XIAN-Control-VR . However, the question states that the tunnel is toward a non-SD-WAN site over the INET-Transport-VR . For a site-to-site IPsec tunnel, the tunnel routing instance must match the routing instance used to reach the peer public IP address. In this case, the remote non-SD-WAN peer is 10.1.1.1 , and the intended underlay transport is INET-Transport-VR , not the Control VR.

Versa troubleshooting documentation explains that routing instances are used to define where traffic is sourced and forwarded. For example, configuration examples select routing instances when enabling services or initiating tests, and traffic must use the correct WAN or transport routing instance to reach the remote endpoint. Versa branch troubleshooting also emphasizes that after transport connectivity is available, the branch establishes IKE-based IPsec connectivity; if that connectivity fails, the IPsec-related interface remains down.

Changing the routing instance to global would not be correct because the intended path is specifically INET-Transport-VR. A higher precedence value is not required to establish the tunnel. The policy selector shown already defines local-to-remote interesting traffic, and the key failure is the incorrect tunnel routing instance.

The correct answer is LOCAL_PREF . In BGP, the Local Preference attribute is used inside an autonomous system to influence which exit path is preferred for outbound traffic. In this scenario, the Versa Secure SD-WAN CPE receives routes from two upstream service providers, SP1 and SP2. To prefer routes learned from AS 64515 over routes learned from AS 64519, you would apply a BGP import or route policy that assigns a higher local preference to routes received from SP1. Versa SD-WAN design guidance shows this exact routing concept: an import policy can manipulate the Local-Pref attribute to prefer one advertised route path over another. The Versa output examples also display “Local Preference” as a BGP route attribute used in route selection.

MULTI_EXIT_DISC, or MED, is generally used to influence how a neighboring AS enters your AS, not how your CPE prefers routes learned from different upstreams. ORIGIN is part of BGP best-path selection but is not normally the administrative tool used to prefer one provider. NEXT_HOP identifies the next-hop address and does not directly define route preference.

The correct answers are B and D . In the exhibit, Enable Auto Switchover is not selected. However, the Failover Timeout value is configured as 300 seconds . Versa Director HA documentation states that the Failover Timeout is the timeout period before the standby Director node can promote itself to become the active Director node. Therefore, if the active or primary Director fails, the backup Director can automatically assume the active role after the failover condition and timeout are met.

The important distinction is that Auto Switchover controls revertive behavior after recovery, not the initial standby takeover during failure. Versa documentation explains that Director HA is non-revertive by default. This means that when the designated master or primary Director comes back online after recovery, it is not automatically promoted back to active unless automatic switchover is enabled. To make the designated active Director automatically reclaim the active state after recovery, Enable Auto Switchover must be selected and the Auto Switchover Timeout must expire.

The correct answer is B . The requirement is to stop branch devices from sourcing traffic using IP addresses that do not belong to the branch. This is a source-address enforcement problem, so the correct control is a stateful firewall policy that permits only traffic whose source IP address matches the valid branch LAN prefix or branch-assigned address range. Versa’s stateful firewall configuration documentation explains that firewall policy rules include source matching, where the administrator selects the source zone and one or more source addresses to which the rule applies.

By creating an allow rule for the legitimate branch source prefixes and placing a deny rule for all other sources from the branch LAN zone, the VOS device prevents spoofed or unauthorized source addresses from leaving the branch. This is consistent with Versa security policy behavior, where firewall rules evaluate traffic based on zones, addresses, services, applications, and other match criteria. Captive portal verifies user identity but does not directly prevent IP spoofing. An IP filter profile based on applications does not ensure the source address belongs to the branch. Option D is incorrect because allowing traffic to the assigned LAN range controls destination traffic, while this requirement is about validating the source IP address of outbound branch traffic.
