Which policy type is applied locally on individual WAN Edge routers rather than centrally through vSmart?

• A. Localized control policy
• B. Centralized data policy
• C. STP filtering policy
• D. CAPWAP policy

Answer: (A)

Localized control policy is used for per-device customization on each WAN Edge router. In Cisco SD-WAN, many policies are pushed centrally from vSmart to the edge devices to control routing decisions and overall behavior. A localized control policy, however, is configured and enforced directly on the individual WAN Edge router, letting that device apply specific routing decisions or exceptions without relying on centralized distribution. This makes it the right choice for per-router behavior that should operate independently of the central policy stream.

The other options don’t fit the scenario since centralized data policy (and related data-plane policies) are pushed and enforced from the controller, and CAPWAP or STP filtering policies are not the standard SD-WAN policy types used for per-device control decisions.
