The Cisco Umbrella branch package is designed to protect users and devices at the DNS-layer before a malicious connection is even established. One of its main advantages is to prevent both corporate and guest users from resolving or connecting to malicious domains, IPs, and URLs.

Cisco's guidance emphasizes Umbrella’s ability to enforce DNS-layer protection across the branch, offering visibility and blocking capabilities for all outbound DNS requests. It effectively stops threats before they ever reach the network, regardless of the user’s location within the branch.

This makes option B correct, as it reflects Umbrella’s DNS-layer security function that applies uniformly to all users.

Cisco DNA Spaces consolidates all location-based services—including indoor positioning, asset tracking, analytics, and wayfinding—into a single cloud-based dashboard, tailored by user roles and permissions. This single pane of glass approach simplifies deployment, monitoring, and management, ensuring consistent insights across sites. Assets, people, and interactions are managed centrally rather than across disparate dashboards. This directly addresses option D.

The Aironet 2800 Series is part of the Wave 2 portfolio, and Cisco has positioned the Catalyst 9120 Series as the next-generation successor. The Catalyst 9120 Series supports Wi-Fi 6, enhanced security, and advanced analytics features, making it the natural evolution for mid-market customers transitioning from older Aironet models. Therefore, option C is the accurate answer.
