Correct answer: authenticates endpoints, provides the default entry point for fabric traffic.
Why this is the answer
Edge nodes in a Cisco SD-Access fabric are responsible for authenticating endpoints when they connect to the network. This ensures only authorized devices gain access. They also serve as the default entry point for fabric traffic, meaning they are the first point of contact for endpoints joining the SD-Access network. While they handle traffic, edge nodes do not provide multiple entry/exit points for fabric traffic; that's typically a border node function. They also don't solely provide the default exit point for fabric traffic, as border nodes handle external network routing. The host database mapping endpoint IDs to locations is primarily managed by the Control Plane node.
