Concepts
Matches

Distributes OMP routes, TLOCs, and policy information between vSmart and WAN edges

Forwards user traffic over IPsec tunnels between WAN edge routers

Provides REST API, CLI, and web GUI for configuring and monitoring the fabric

Automates initial authentication, NAT detection, and vBond discovery

(Not a standard SD-WAN plane; used as a distractor) Handles application-level services

  • P1.Control plane: OMP route exchange and BGP/OSPF peering
  • P2.Data plane: IPsec tunnel encapsulation and packet forwarding
  • P3.Management plane: CLI, REST API, and web-based administration
  • P4.Orchestration plane: vBond-based device authentication and onboarding
  • P5.Analytics plane: Telemetry collection and application visibility

Why P1: The control plane handles OMP and routing protocols; the data plane forwards traffic using IPsec tunnels; the management plane provides CLI/GUI and APIs; the orchestration plane handles zero-touch provisioning and authentication.
