Which information is used to calculate whether a WAN link has high usage?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Which information is used to calculate whether a WAN link has high usage not how to view (To accurately identify high utilization, users must set the ISP-provided bandwidth limits under Security and SD-WAN > SD-WAN and Traffic Shaping > Uplink Configuration for each uplink. If the bandwidth usage is higher than 80% of the defined limit, it will mark that uplink as High Usage.) https://documentation.meraki.com/MI/MI_WAN_Health#:~:text=To%20accurately%20identify%20high%20utilization,that%20uplink%20as%20High%20Usage.

A seems relevant, but I’m not sure it’s the main factor.

I vaguely remember something about traffic shaping settings, so option D might be relevant too, but I need to think more about it.

I feel like the total number of devices could be a factor, but I can't recall if that's what they meant by high usage.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about live data being important for monitoring usage. Maybe it's option A?

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it asking about current usage or historical usage? The options seem to cover both. I'll have to think about this a bit more before answering.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the live data from the Appliance Status is real-time usage, but that's not what the question is asking for. I'm going to go with B - the total historical throughput.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'm debating between B and D. The value under the Uplink Configuration section could also be used to calculate link usage, right?

I think the answer is B - the total historical throughput of an uplink. That seems like the most relevant information for determining WAN link usage.

D is the clear winner here. Why would you use live data when you can just look at the configuration settings? Much easier.
