Correct answer: Centralized policy.
Why this is the answer
A centralized policy, specifically a centralized data policy, is used to configure application-aware routing in Cisco SD-WAN. This policy type is defined on the vSmart controller and pushed to the vEdge routers. It allows administrators to define rules based on application characteristics (e.g., application ID, DSCP value) to steer traffic over preferred paths, ensuring optimal performance for critical applications. Localized policies apply to a single device and are used for features like QoS or access lists, not application-aware routing across the fabric. Control policies influence routing information exchanged between devices, affecting reachability, but don't directly steer application traffic. Data policies are a sub-type of centralized policies; the overarching category for application-aware routing is Centralized Policy.
