Which routes does the overlay management protocol advertise in an SD-WAN overlay?

The correct answer is C. prefix, TLOC, and service. The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) in Cisco SD-WAN advertises specific route types essential for building and maintaining the overlay network.

Why each option

The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) in Cisco SD-WAN advertises specific route types essential for building and maintaining the overlay network.

Aunderlay, MPLS, and overlay

Underlay and MPLS are transport technologies, not specific route types advertised by OMP itself.

Bprimary, backup, and load-balanced

Primary, backup, and load-balanced describe traffic engineering states, not the fundamental types of routes OMP advertises.

Cprefix, TLOC, and serviceCorrect

OMP advertises prefix routes (network reachability information), TLOC routes (transport location information binding a system IP to a transport), and service routes (information about network services behind a device) to build the overlay topology. These three route types are fundamental for centralized control plane functionality in Cisco SD-WAN.

DInternet, MPLS, and backup

Internet and MPLS are transport types, and backup refers to a traffic state, none are specific OMP route types.
