How is redundancy achieved among Cisco vBond Orchestrators in a Cisco SD-WAN deployment?

Question

Options

• AThe IP addresses of all Orchestrators are mapped to a single DNS name.
• BThe closest Orchestrator to each Cisco WAN Edge router is selected.
• CCisco WAN Edge routers are configured with all Orchestrators using their IP addresses and
• DA single Cisco Orchestrator is deployed in each network.

• A
  94% (17)
• B
  6% (1)

Explanation

In Cisco SD-WAN, the vBond orchestrator is the first point of contact for WAN Edge routers during onboarding - it authenticates devices and helps them discover vSmart controllers and vManage. To achieve redundancy, multiple vBond orchestrators are deployed and all of their IP addresses are mapped to a single DNS name (e.g., vbond.company.com). WAN Edge routers are configured with this DNS name; when they resolve it, they receive all vBond IP addresses and can try each one, providing failover. Option B is incorrect because vBond selection is not based on geographic proximity. Option C is partially true in lab scenarios but not the recommended production design for redundancy. Option D (single orchestrator per network) provides no redundancy.
