What protocol must a WAN Edge use to reach vManage, vBond, and vSmart controllers in a data center?

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is the correct answer because it provides secure communication between the WAN Edge device and the vManage, vBond, and vSmart controllers. This encryption is crucial for protecting sensitive control plane information exchanged in the SD-WAN fabric. OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) is used for exchanging routing, policy, and service information within the SD-WAN overlay, but it relies on an underlying secure transport like TLS. IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol) is used for routing within an autonomous system (like a traditional enterprise network) and is not directly involved in securing controller communication in SD-WAN. QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes network traffic but does not provide security for controller communication.
