Correct answer: Control Plane Node, Edge Node, Border Node.
Why this is the answer
Cisco SD-Access utilizes specific device roles to build its fabric architecture. The Control Plane Node (CPN) manages the mapping system, associating endpoint identities (like IP addresses or MAC addresses) with their locations (VTEPs on Edge Nodes). The Edge Node (EN) is where endpoints connect to the fabric; it provides network access, performs VXLAN encapsulation/decapsulation, and enforces policies. The Border Node (BN) connects the SD-Access fabric to external networks, such as the data center, internet, or other enterprise networks, facilitating traffic ingress and egress. "Access routing device" and "Distributed Node" are not standard or valid device roles within the Cisco SD-Access fabric architecture. While routing occurs, it's handled by the defined fabric roles.
