Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions (ENSDWI) — Question 15

Which component of the Cisco SD-WAN architecture oversees the control plane of overlay network to establish, adjust, and maintain the connections between the
WAN Edge devices that form the Cisco SD-WAN fabric?

Answer options

• A. APIC-EM
• B. vSmart
• C. vManage
• D. vBond

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The vSmart component is responsible for overseeing the control plane in the Cisco SD-WAN architecture, which is essential for managing the connections among WAN Edge devices. In contrast, APIC-EM is primarily for application policy management, vManage handles orchestration and monitoring, and vBond is used for establishing trust and facilitating the initial connection, but does not manage the control plane.
