A. B. C. D.B.
In a Cisco SD-WAN solution, vManage is the centralized management platform that manages the SD-WAN fabric. vSmart controller, on the other hand, is responsible for control plane functions, such as building and distributing the overlay network topology and policies across the SD-WAN fabric.
To enable the vManage to connect to the vSmart controller hosted in the cloud, the two devices communicate using a secure protocol known as NETCONF (Network Configuration Protocol). NETCONF is a standardized protocol used to manage network devices over the network. It provides a secure and reliable way for network administrators to remotely configure, manage, and monitor network devices.
Using NETCONF, vManage can securely retrieve information from the vSmart controller and push policy and configuration changes to the SD-WAN fabric. NETCONF is based on XML, making it easy to understand and manipulate network configuration data.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is D. NETCONF.
