Why each option
The vSmart Controller is the cloud-based component in Cisco SD-WAN responsible for establishing secure connections to WAN Edge routers and distributing routes and policy information via OMP.
vBond Orchestrator is responsible for the initial authentication and orchestration of SD-WAN components, helping WAN Edge routers join the fabric, but it does not distribute routes or policy information.
WAN Edge routers are the data plane elements that connect to physical networks and form tunnels, but they receive, rather than distribute, routing and policy information from the vSmart Controller.
vManage is the centralized network management system and graphical user interface (GUI) for the SD-WAN fabric, used for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting, not for route and policy distribution via OMP.
The vSmart Controller acts as the control plane for the Cisco SD-WAN solution, creating secure DTLS/TLS connections to WAN Edge routers and distributing routing and policy information using the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP). It ensures that all WAN Edge routers have a consistent view of the network topology and policies.
