Which Cisco SD-WAN component distributes centralized routing and policy information to WAN Edge routers?

• A. vManage
• B. vBond
• C. vSmart
• D. FMC

Answer: (C)

In Cisco SD-WAN, the control plane component that distributes centralized routing information and policy to WAN Edge routers is vSmart. It runs the overlay control plane and uses the Overlay Management Protocol to push routing updates and centralized policies to all Edge devices, enabling consistent, application-aware routing across the fabric. The Edge routers then apply these routes and policies in the data plane. The other components have different roles: vBond handles device onboarding and session establishment, vManage provides the web-based management and configuration interface, and FMC is not part of the SD-WAN fabric.
