Explanation

OMP Route Advertisement Explanation

OMP advertises three core types of information across the SD-WAN fabric: OMP routes (prefixes learned from the local site, similar to traditional routing table entries), TLOCs (Transport Locators, which identify the physical transport endpoints/colors used to build IPsec tunnels between edge devices), and Service routes (which advertise network services like firewalls or load balancers attached to the local site, enabling service chaining across the overlay).

Why the distractors are wrong:

• MP-BGP (C) is a separate routing protocol used within traditional WAN/MPLS environments or as an underlay; OMP replaces it in the SD-WAN overlay and does not advertise MP-BGP itself.
• LISP routes (D) belong to a completely different overlay technology (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) unrelated to Cisco SD-WAN's OMP control plane.

Memory Tip: Think "OTS" - OMP routes, TLOCs, Service routes. These are the three pillars OMP advertises: where to go (OMP routes), how to get there (TLOCs), and what services exist along the way (Service routes).
