Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks for System Engineers — Question 16

Which element of the Cisco SD-WAN architecture facilitates the functions of controller discovery and NAT traversal?

Answer options

• A. vBond orchestrator
• B. vManage
• C. vSmart controller
• D. vEdge

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The vBond orchestrator is essential in the Cisco SD-WAN architecture as it handles controller discovery and NAT traversal, allowing secure communication between various components. The vManage is primarily for network management, the vSmart controller is responsible for data plane traffic, and the vEdge is the WAN edge device, none of which perform the discovery and NAT functions like the vBond does.
