Why each option
In a Cisco SD-WAN solution, vManage functions as the centralized network management system responsible for provisioning, configuration, and monitoring.
vManage is the central network management system (NMS) for the Cisco SD-WAN solution, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) and API for configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting all components, including controllers and WAN Edge devices.
vBond is the orchestrator, primarily responsible for initial authentication and coordination between controllers and WAN Edge devices, not for ongoing provisioning and configuration.
A WAN Edge router is a data plane device that forwards traffic; it receives its configuration from vManage, but is not used for provisioning the overall solution.
vSmart is the controller responsible for establishing and maintaining the control plane, distributing routing, and enforcing policies, but vManage is the management plane for configuration.
