Which Cisco SD-WAN configuration provides the advantages of day-zero deployment and reusable configuration components?

Configuration groups in Cisco vManage allow administrators to define device configurations as modular, reusable building blocks that can be applied automatically during device onboarding with no manual CLI intervention. This design supports day-zero deployment because devices can self-provision upon first contact with the SD-WAN controllers, and the same configuration group can be reused across many WAN Edge devices.

The vBond controller handles device authentication and orchestration, not configuration group management or day-zero template provisioning.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure is a legacy enterprise network management platform not integrated into the Cisco SD-WAN solution for configuration management.

CLI-based templates require manual or script-driven application and lack the native day-zero automation and reusability of configuration groups.
