A. B. C. D.B.
In a Cisco SD-WAN network, the vSmart controller is responsible for distributing route and policy information via the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP).
The vSmart controller is a centralized policy and route controller that communicates with all the WAN edge routers (also known as vEdge routers) in the network. It uses the OMP to distribute policies, routes, and other network configuration information to the WAN edge routers.
The OMP is a control plane protocol used in Cisco SD-WAN networks to distribute routing information, policy information, and other network-related information between the vSmart controllers and WAN edge routers. It allows the vSmart controller to dynamically configure and manage the network, including traffic steering, security, and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
The vManage and vBond Orchestrator are also important components of the Cisco SD-WAN solution, but they are not responsible for distributing route and policy information via the OMP.
The vManage is the centralized network management system that provides a single pane of glass for monitoring and managing the entire SD-WAN network, including the vSmart controllers, WAN edge routers, and other components.
The vBond Orchestrator is responsible for initial device authentication and onboarding in the SD-WAN network. It is a secure orchestrator that establishes a secure connection between the WAN edge routers and the vSmart controllers.
Therefore, option B, the vSmart Controller, is the correct answer to the question.
