A. B. C. D.B.
When a WAN Edge device joins the Cisco SD-WAN overlay, the vBond orchestrator is responsible for orchestrating the connection between the WAN Edge device and the vSmart controller.
vBond acts as the orchestrator and controller for establishing and managing secure connectivity between the WAN Edge device and the vSmart controller. vBond performs authentication and authorization of the WAN Edge device and then directs the device to the appropriate vSmart controller based on business policies and network conditions.
Once the WAN Edge device establishes a secure connection with the vSmart controller, it exchanges control and data plane information. The control plane information includes device and network policies, topology, and service configuration, while the data plane information includes user traffic.
vManage is the centralized management platform for Cisco SD-WAN that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for device management, monitoring, and troubleshooting. OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) is the protocol that is used to exchange routing and policy information between the WAN Edge devices and the vSmart controllers. APIC-EM (Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module) is a network automation and orchestration platform that is used to automate policy-based network provisioning and management.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is B. vBond.
