These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. Drag and drop each SD-WAN plane on the left to its matching function on the right.
medium- ✓ 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.
