Which Component Creates a Feature Profile in Cisco SD-WAN UX 2.0?
Short answer
C Cisco SD-WAN UX 2.0 Configuration Groups are the structured component that creates and contains Feature Profiles, not Feature Parcels.
Question
Key Takeaways
Tests the Cisco SD-WAN UX 2.0 hierarchy — Configuration Group creates Feature Profile, Feature Profile contains Feature Parcels — and the trap is treating the parcel as the creator.
Cisco SD-WAN UX 2.0 uses Configuration Groups as the structured way to create Feature Profiles, which in turn contain Feature Parcels. This page establishes that the correct component for creating a Feature Profile is the Configuration Group (C), not the Feature Parcel.
Common mistake: The most common wrong answer is Feature Parcel (B) because candidates see parcels listed as parts of a profile and assume they create it, but the parcel is a child building block, not the structured container.
Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN UX 2.0 documentation describes Configuration Groups as providing a "simple, reusable, and structured approach" for configurations. A Configuration Group is a logical grouping of devices and Feature Profiles, so it is the component that creates and organizes a Feature Profile. Feature Profiles are in turn made up of Feature Parcels, which places the parcel below the profile in the hierarchy. The question's phrase "structured approach" therefore maps directly to the Configuration Group, making option C correct.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
A Feature Template (A) belongs to the older UX 1.0 workflow and is not the UX 2.0 structured construct. A Feature Parcel (B) is a child building block inside a Feature Profile, so it cannot be the component that creates the profile. A Device Template (D) is also a legacy per-device template approach, not the Configuration Group model introduced in UX 2.0.
Community Comment Notes
Learners split closely, with B receiving 55 votes and C 45, but several comments point beyond the raw poll. Outlaw_87 and MARCOAKRAM noted that "Configuration Groups contain Feature Profiles, which are made up of Feature Parcels," yet still chose B, which contradicts that hierarchy. kedir_ccnp and Rosh8787 cited Cisco Configuration Groups documentation, and BECAUSE observed that the linked material actually makes C the clear answer. As dganeshonline and Gycu also concluded, the Configuration Group is the structured component.

Exam Strategy
Map UX 2.0 components as Configuration Group > Feature Profile > Feature Parcel before answering. The exam often reverses the hierarchy so a lower-level parcel looks like the creator; read which component is described as the structured container.

kedir_ccnp 👍 3 Answered Cfrom the following link, https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/sdwan/configuration/system-interface/ios-xe-17/systems-interfaces-book-xe-sdwan/configuration-groups.html Configuration Groups and Feature Profiles: This feature provides a simple, reusable, and structured approach for the configurations in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN. You can create a configuration group, that is, a logical grouping of features or configurations that is applied to one or more devices in the network that is managed by Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN. You can also create profiles based on features that are required, recommended, or uniquely used, and then combine the profiles to complete a device configuration. The configuration group workflow in Cisco SD-WAN Manager provides a guided method to create configuration groups and feature profiles.

MARCOAKRAM 👍 2 Answered BConfiguration Groups contain Feature Profiles, which are made up of Feature Parcels. So, the component creating a Feature Profile would be a Feature Parcel.
