Cisco Exam 300-730 Topic 8 Question 89 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-730 exam

Question #: 89
Topic #: 8

A network engineer must expand a company's Cisco AnyConnect solution. Currently, a Cisco ASA is set up in North America and another will be installed in Europe with a different IP address. Users should connect to the ASA that has the lowest Round Trip Time from their network location as measured by the AnyConnect client. Which solution must be implemented to meet this requirement?

AVPN Load Balancing

BIP SLA

CDNS Load Balancing

DOptimal Gateway Selection

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Optimal Gateway Selection (OGS). OGS is a feature that can be used in order to determine which gateway has the lowest Round Trip Time (RTT) and connect to that gateway. One can use the OGS feature in order to minimize latency for Internet traffic without user intervention. With OGS, Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client (AnyConnect) identifies and selects which secure gateway is best for connection or reconnection. OGS begins upon first connection or upon a reconnection at least four hours after the previous disconnection.

Optimal Gateway Selection, huh? I guess that's IT code for 'We're too lazy to actually load balance this thing properly.' Why not just install a volleyball net between the ASAs and let the users serve the packets back and forth?

DNS Load Balancing might work well too, depending on the setup.

VPN Load Balancing could also be a good option to distribute the load.

Yeah, it will help users connect to the ASA with the lowest Round Trip Time.

Optimal Gateway Selection? Seriously? That's like saying 'Let the client decide which ASA is closer'. Sounds like a cop-out to me. I'm going with VPN Load Balancing (Option A) - that's the real deal!

True, IP SLA (Option B) could provide more precise data. It's important to ensure the solution is efficient and reliable for the users.

But what if the VPN Load Balancing (Option A) doesn't always choose the closest ASA? Maybe we should consider IP SLA (Option B) for more accurate measurements.

I agree, Optimal Gateway Selection does seem like a cop-out. VPN Load Balancing (Option A) sounds like a more reliable solution.

I think DNS Load Balancing could also work. It directs users to the closest ASA based on their geographic location.

I agree with you, VPN Load Balancing sounds like a more reliable option. It evenly distributes the VPN connections across multiple ASAs.

I don't know, man. Optimal Gateway Selection? Sounds like something the IT guys made up to confuse us. Option B, IP SLA, is my pick. It's gotta be more reliable, right?

DNS Load Balancing (Option C) could also work, but that would require additional setup on the DNS server side. Optimal Gateway Selection sounds like the more straightforward solution.

I think Option D, Optimal Gateway Selection, is the way to go. It allows the AnyConnect client to choose the ASA with the lowest Round Trip Time, which seems to be the exact requirement here.
