According to the information provided, which statement is correct about the traffic flow between a migrated subnet and a remote location?

The traffic will traverse directly through Fusion and SDWAN, bypassing L2BN and BN/CP.
The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, Fusion, and SDWAN, bypassing BN/CP.
The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, BN/CP, Fusion, and SDWAN. (correct)
The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, BN/CP, and Fusion, but not through SDWAN.

In the final step of the DC CNF migration approach, what is the purpose of enabling the local C9800 WLC for fabric mode?

To allow the WLC to control the migration process of devices into the fabric.
To enable the WLC to manage the SDWAN connections for the fabric network.
To configure the WLC to handle traffic between the fabric and legacy networks.
To provision the WLC with fabric-enabled SSIDs for the APs to broadcast. (correct)

Which statement is correct about the traffic flow between a migrated subnet and a non-migrated subnet in the legacy network?

The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, BN/CP, Fusion, and the legacy site. (correct)
The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, Fusion, and the legacy site, bypassing BN/CP.
The traffic will traverse through the L2BN, BN/CP, and SDWAN, but not through Fusion or the legacy site.
The traffic will traverse directly through Fusion and the legacy site.
