Why each option
The Cisco SD-WAN orchestration plane provides critical functions such as acting as the primary authentication point for SD-WAN devices and facilitating NAT traversal to enable device communication.
Centralized provisioning is primarily a function of the vManage controller, which belongs to the management plane, rather than the orchestration plane.
The vBond orchestrator, a component of the orchestration plane, serves as the primary authentication point for all SD-WAN devices, including WAN Edge devices, vManage, and vSmart controllers, ensuring secure enrollment into the overlay network.
The vBond orchestrator also facilitates NAT traversal for WAN Edge devices located behind NAT devices, helping them establish reachability and communicate with other SD-WAN control plane components like vSmart and vManage.
Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) involves the orchestration plane (vBond) for initial discovery but is a broader function managed by the vManage controller within the management plane.
Troubleshooting and monitoring are core functions of the vManage controller, which is part of the management plane, providing centralized visibility and control.
