You want to test a WAN circuit in a way that more closely simulates a single SCP or FTP file transfer. Which method should you use?
The correct answer is B. Versa documentation for internet speed tests explains that when you run an internet speed test from a Director node, it creates approximately 200 sessions. This is useful for measuring aggregate throughput, but it does not represent the behavior of a single application flow. The same documentation states that you can run a speed test with a single session from the device CLI, and that this is useful for simulating file transfer rates when using SCP or FTP.
Therefore, when the goal is to understand how a single file transfer behaves, the CLI-based single-session test is the best option. A default Director-based test may produce higher aggregate results because multiple sessions can use parallelism and better fill the pipe.
show interfaces brief is useful for interface status and addressing, but it does not measure file-transfer throughput. SLA latency is useful for path-quality monitoring, but latency alone does not show single-session TCP throughput.
Which two statements are true about templates? (Choose two.)
The correct answers are C and D. Versa templates are designed to reuse common configuration while still allowing per-device customization. Template variables allow the same template to be deployed to multiple appliances while using device-specific values such as addresses, VLAN IDs, DHCP information, or other bind-data values. Versa documentation for deploying templates describes assigning values to variables contained in a main template that are specific to the device. This makes option C correct.
Option D is also correct because Versa workflows are used to create templates for VOS device configuration. Versa documentation states that workflows are used to create templates to configure VOS devices, and also to create templates for application steering, spoke groups, and service chains.
Option A is not correct in the normal Versa Director onboarding model because a group of devices is associated with one staging template and one post-staging template, rather than multiple device templates being stacked per appliance. Option B is also incorrect because service templates are optional reusable service-specific fragments. Versa documentation states that service templates can be used by multiple device templates and device groups, but it does not require every appliance to have one.
Which two statements are true about the differences between a stateful firewall and a next-generation firewall (NGFW) in a Versa solution? (Choose two.)
The correct answers are A and D. A Versa stateful firewall primarily enforces security by tracking connection state and matching packet/session information such as source, destination, zones, services, protocol, and L3/L4 attributes. Versa's CLI configuration guide shows stateful firewall access-policy match options for source and destination addresses, services, IP version, IP flags, DSCP, TTL, and also optional application and URL-category match fields when enhanced services are available.
A Versa NGFW extends this inspection model by adding deeper Layer 7 and UTM capabilities, such as IDS/IPS, antivirus, URL filtering, file or data filtering, and application-aware enforcement. Versa's SD-WAN design guide specifically describes internet security using the Versa next-generation firewall with unified threat management features, including IDS/IPS and antivirus inspection for DIA traffic. Licensing is also a valid distinction: Versa's SD-WAN licensing overview describes NGFW features as part of solution tiers, so the availability of advanced security functions depends on the licensed tier or subscription
A branch has correct underlay speed and no asymmetric SD-WAN paths, but users still report packet loss during large transfers. You suspect QoS shaping is dropping traffic. Which command is most appropriate to verify interface-level CoS drops?
The correct answer is A. Versa throughput troubleshooting documentation includes a specific section titled Check that Packets Are not Dropped by CoS. It states that if a CoS shaper or rate limiter is configured on the VOS device, it may drop packets when traffic exceeds the configured shaping rate. To check whether CoS is dropping packets, Versa recommends commands including show class-of-services interfaces brief and show class-of-services interfaces detail interface-name.
The detailed interface output displays traffic statistics such as TX packets, TX packets dropped, TX bytes, TX bytes dropped, and per-traffic-class drops. This is exactly the evidence needed to confirm whether shaping or QoS enforcement is causing the observed loss.
show alarms last-n 10 may reveal major events but will not provide per-interface CoS drop counters. show system uptime only indicates how long the system has been running. show cgnat tenants is relevant for NAT state and tenant CGNAT resources, not QoS drops.
Examine the exhibit below. You are configuring Class of Service on a WAN-facing network interface, and you want to perform DSCP rewrite on the packets that are forwarded to the WAN. However, you are not able to turn on DSCP rewrite. Referring to the exhibit, what is the cause of this issue?
In the exhibit, the Add Associate Interface/Network window has Interface selected, and the interface name is set to vni-0/0. The DSCP rewrite option is not available because rewrite behavior is intended to be applied at the network association level for the WAN network, not directly while associating only the physical/logical interface. For WAN-facing CoS, the scheduler and shaping parameters can be attached to an interface, but DSCP rewrite policies are applied to remark traffic as it exits through a network context.
Versa SD-WAN design documentation explains that QoS rewrite rules rewrite packet QoS attributes as packets leave the VOS device, and that rewrite rules can modify IEEE 802.1p bits, IPv4 TOS/DSCP bits, and IPv6 traffic class bits. It also explains that a rewrite policy is commonly applied on a WAN network to remark traffic based on the forwarding class and loss priority assigned by QoS or App QoS policies. In the design example, Versa explicitly describes applying a QoS propagation or rewrite policy on the MPLS WAN network to remark traffic to a DSCP value. Therefore, the issue is the association type: it is set to Interface, not Network.
