Correct answer: onboarding of SD-WAN routers into the SD-WAN overlay.
Why this is the answer
vBond, the orchestrator in Cisco SD-WAN, is crucial for the initial onboarding of SD-WAN routers (vEdge or cEdge) into the overlay network. It acts as the first point of contact for new devices, authenticating them and facilitating the establishment of secure connections with the vManage (controller) and vSmart (control plane) components. This process ensures that only authorized devices join the SD-WAN fabric. Initiating connections with SD-WAN routers automatically is a broader function shared by vManage and vSmart after onboarding. Pushing configuration is primarily the role of vManage. Gathering telemetry data is primarily handled by vManage.
