WAN Edge Router Deployment

Question

In which device state does the WAN edge router create control connections, but data tunnels are not created?

Options

Avalid
Bbootstrap
Cactive
Dstaging

Explanation

In staging state, a WAN Edge router establishes control connections to controllers but intentionally does not form data plane IPsec tunnels to other WAN Edge routers.

Common mistakes.

A. The valid state indicates the device has been authenticated and authorized by vBond with a valid certificate; it does not specifically describe a control-only, no-data-tunnel condition.
B. Bootstrap state refers to the initial bring-up mode where the device uses a minimal bootstrap configuration to reach controllers for the first time before full onboarding completes.
C. Active state means the device is fully operational with both control connections and data plane IPsec tunnels established and passing traffic.

Concept tested. WAN Edge staging state - control-only no data tunnels
