In an HA active-active deployment, one device has two WAN networks, INET-1 and MPLS-1, and its peer also has two WAN networks, INET-2 and MPLS-2. In this scenario, how many subinterfaces will be created on the cross-connect link between the devices by an HA active-active workflow?

Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D. In a Versa HA active-active branch deployment, the cross-connect link between the two CPE devices is used to extend WAN transport reachability between the peers. Versa SD-WAN design documentation explains that, in an HA active-active design, a cross-connect cable between the two devices extends one device's transport VR to the other device and vice versa. For example, the documentation describes the cross-connect as extending the MPLS-Transport-VR to one device and the Internet-Transport-VR to the peer device.

In the question, there are four total WAN networks across the HA pair: INET-1, MPLS-1, INET-2, and MPLS-2. The HA active-active workflow must create separate logical subinterfaces on the cross-connect link for each WAN network so that each transport segment can be extended and kept logically separated across the two appliances. Therefore, the number of subinterfaces created on the cross-connect link equals the total number of WAN networks across the HA pair, which is four.

Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they undercount the number of required transport extensions. Two subinterfaces would only account for two WAN networks, but this design has four separate WAN transport networks.

Definitely 4, that's how active-active works!

I thought it would be 2, but I guess I was wrong!

Wait, are you sure it’s 4? Seems like a lot.

Totally agree, 4 makes sense with both devices having 2 WANs each.

There will be 4 subinterfaces created.

I believe we need to create one subinterface for each WAN link on both devices, so that might lead us to a total of four, but I’m not completely confident.

I’m a bit confused about whether the cross-connect link counts as a separate interface or not. Does anyone remember how that works?

This question feels familiar; I think we practiced a similar one where we had to count subinterfaces based on the number of WAN links.

I think I remember that in an active-active setup, each WAN link typically requires a subinterface, but I'm not entirely sure how that applies here.

I’m leaning towards 2 as well, but I’m not confident. I wish I had reviewed more on HA configurations before the exam.

This question feels familiar; I think I practiced one where the number of subinterfaces was based on the active connections. Could it be 3?

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about subinterfaces being tied to the number of networks, which could lead to 2.

I think we might need to create one subinterface for each WAN link, so maybe that means 4 total?
