In Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) Solutions, OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) is the control plane protocol used to communicate between vEdge routers and the vSmart controller. OMP is responsible for providing secure connectivity, routing, and traffic engineering across the SD-WAN fabric.

The two protocols that can be redistributed into OMP are OSPF and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). Therefore, options A (OSPF) and E (EIGRP) are the correct answers.

OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) used to distribute routing information within a single autonomous system (AS) in a hierarchical network. With SD-WAN, OSPF can be redistributed into OMP to provide connectivity between SD-WAN and non-SD-WAN sites or between different SD-WAN sites.

EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary IGP that is used within a single autonomous system. It can also be redistributed into OMP to provide connectivity between SD-WAN and non-SD-WAN sites or between different SD-WAN sites.

RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) and LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) are both used for traffic engineering in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks and are not redistributed into OMP. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is an IGP used in small networks and is not commonly used in SD-WAN.

In summary, OSPF and EIGRP can be redistributed into OMP to provide connectivity between SD-WAN and non-SD-WAN sites or between different SD-WAN sites.
