Why each option
The vManage Network Management System (NMS) is the central graphical interface for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting the entire Cisco SD-WAN fabric. It is also responsible for managing and storing software images for all network elements.
WAN Edge routers are the data plane devices; they receive and run software images but do not manage or store images for other devices.
vSmart controllers are the control plane elements responsible for policy enforcement and routing information exchange, but they do not manage software images for the entire network.
vManage NMS serves as the central management platform for the Cisco SD-WAN solution, providing a centralized interface for software image management, including storage, upgrades, and deployment to all WAN Edge routers and controllers.
vBond controllers act as the orchestrators, authenticating devices and facilitating initial connections, but they do not manage or store software images for the network.
