In an SD-WAN deployment, which action in the vSmart controller responsible for?

Question

Options

• Ahandle, maintain, and gather configuration and status for nodes within the SD-WAN fabric
• Bdistribute policies that govern data forwarding performed within the SD-WAN fabric
• Cgather telemetry data from vEdge routers
• Donboard vEdge nodes into the SD-WAN fabric

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  94% (60)
• C
  5% (3)

Explanation

SD-WAN vSmart Controller Explanation

Option B is correct because the vSmart controller is specifically designed to distribute and enforce policies that control how data is forwarded across the SD-WAN fabric - it acts as the "brain" that pushes routing policies, security policies, and QoS rules to vEdge routers via the OMP (Overlay Management Protocol).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Option A describes the role of vManage, which is the centralized management platform responsible for configuration, monitoring, and maintaining node status across the fabric.
• Option C (gathering telemetry data) is also a vManage function, as it serves as the single pane of glass for analytics and telemetry collection.
• Option D (onboarding vEdge nodes) is handled through the ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) process coordinated by vBond, which authenticates and onboards new devices into the fabric.

Memory Tip: Think of the vSmart controller as the "Smart Traffic Cop" - it doesn't manage configurations (vManage) or authenticate devices (vBond), it simply tells traffic where to go and how to behave by distributing forwarding policies. "Smart = Policy Distribution."
