Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) — Question 609

Why does the vBond orchestrator have a public IP?

Answer options

• A. to allow for global reachability from all WAN Edges in the Cisco SD-WAN and to facilitate NAT traversal
• B. to provide access to Cisco Smart Licensing servers for license enablement
• C. to enable vBond to learn the public IP of WAN Edge devices that are behind NAT gateways or in private address space
• D. to facilitate downloading and distribution of operational and security patches

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the vBond orchestrator's public IP ensures that it can be reached by all WAN Edges in the Cisco SD-WAN and aids in NAT traversal. Option B is incorrect because access to Cisco Smart Licensing servers is not the primary function of a public IP for vBond. Option C, while related to NAT, does not capture the full reason for a public IP. Option D is unrelated to the primary purpose of the vBond's public IP.
