Exam 350-401 topic 1 question 59 discussion

A) is vSmart using OMP to communicate with vEdge routers. (CORRECT) B) is vManage. C) is VPNs. D) is vBond.

A is correct

A. To establish secure control plane connections vSmart controllers play a crucial role in orchestrating and managing the control plane operations in an SD-WAN architecture. They are responsible for establishing and maintaining secure control plane connections among different SD-WAN devices (such as edge routers or vEdge devices). These controllers help in enforcing policies, distributing routing information, facilitating secure communication between SD-WAN components, and ensuring that the SD-WAN fabric operates based on defined business policies and requirements. They play a key role in controlling the behavior and forwarding decisions of SD-WAN devices by providing centralized intelligence for the control plane of the network.

i think it's D , check pag 634 of the Cert GUID

answer is A ... but question is poorly worded.

A is the correct answer here.

I think C is correct to, vSmart authenticates devices connected to the SD-WAN network

I think C is correct to, vSmart authenticates devices connected to the SD-WAN network

vSmart controller distributes security information between vEdge routers to facilitate data plane IPSEC tunnel creation. vSmart uses OMP to distribute routing information, security keys and policy configuration through DTLS tunnels to the vEdge routers.
