Prepared & Reviewed by the ValidExamDumps Editorial Team
At ValidExamDumps, we consistently monitor updates to the Cisco 646-048 exam questions by Cisco. Whenever our team identifies changes in the exam questions, objectives, focus areas or requirements, We immediately update our exam questions for both PDF and online practice exams. This commitment ensures our customers always have access to the most current and accurate questions. By preparing with these up to date and 100% exam domain coverage questions, our customers can successfully pass the Cisco Advanced Routing and Switching for Account Managers exam on their first attempt without needing additional materials or study guides.
Other certification materials providers often include outdated or removed questions by Cisco in their 646-048 exam. These outdated questions lead to customers failing their Cisco Advanced Routing and Switching for Account Managers exam. In contrast, we ensure our questions bank includes only precise and up-to-date questions. Our main priority is your success in the Cisco 646-048 exam, not profiting from selling obsolete exam questions in PDF or Online Practice Test.
A customer with 25 remote branches uses MPLS only and complains about high circuit costs and slow provisioning of new sites, plus poor performance of SaaS applications that are backhauled to the data center. The CIO asks the account manager what to propose during the next refresh of branch routers.
Which proposal best addresses these business drivers?
Cisco SD-WAN with Catalyst 8000 series edge routers lets the customer augment or partially replace expensive MPLS with broadband/LTE, provision new sites rapidly through zero-touch and centralized vManage policy, and improve SaaS performance via application-aware routing and direct internet access. Simply buying more MPLS (A) increases cost and does not fix backhaul latency. Layer 2 switches (C) cannot perform WAN routing. Static routing without a controller (D) worsens the provisioning and operations problems.
A healthcare customer is deploying new Catalyst access switches and wants to add network applications for wired and wireless client identification, posture and segmentation enforcement. The IT team has limited staff and is worried a new deployment will disrupt clinical devices.
Which approach should the account manager position for installing the network access control application?
Cisco ISE supports a phased deployment: monitor (open) mode authenticates and profiles endpoints without denying access, letting the team discover medical and legacy devices safely before enabling low-impact and then closed mode enforcement. This minimizes clinical disruption for a small team. Immediate full enforcement (B) is the classic cause of outages. Static VLANs (C) provide no identity or posture. Access switches are the primary enforcement point, so D is incorrect.
A customer's IT manager states that because each business unit maintains its own purchasing ledger, Cisco Smart Licensing cannot provide any consolidated view of license entitlement and consumption across those units.
Is this statement true or false?
The statement is false. Cisco Smart Licensing uses Smart Accounts with Virtual Accounts, which let an organization keep separate virtual accounts per business unit, department or cost center while still giving the parent Smart Account a consolidated view of all entitlements and consumption. This is a key value point for customers with distributed purchasing.
A regional retailer with 60 stores currently buys switches and routers as one-off capital purchases across several independent cost centers, so each store's ledger shows different renewal dates and no visibility into what is covered by support. The finance director wants predictable spend and simpler reconciliation.
What is the most appropriate recommendation from the account manager?
Consolidating multiple ledgers and renewal dates is exactly what an Enterprise Agreement with co-termination addresses: one contract, unified true-forward terms, predictable annual spend and easier reconciliation across cost centers. Letting support lapse (A) increases operational risk and removes software updates and TAC. Multiple resellers (C) worsens fragmentation. A full forklift refresh (D) is a large unnecessary capital event and does not solve licensing/support visibility.
An account manager is meeting with a 400-employee manufacturing customer whose branch routers and access switches are each configured manually via CLI by a two-person IT team. The customer complains that a recent misconfiguration on one switch took a production line offline for hours, and they have no consistent record of device software versions.
Which business value should the account manager emphasize when positioning Cisco DNA Center for managing the customer's routers and switches?
The customer's pain points are manual, inconsistent device configuration and no software version control. Cisco DNA Center delivers centralized automation, standardized templates/policy, and software image management (SWIM) with compliance reporting, which directly reduces human error and unplanned downtime. Options A, C and D are technically false claims: devices still run Cisco IOS XE, controller software does not change hardware forwarding performance, and routing protocols are still required for WAN reachability.
