Correct answer: OMP routes, TLOCs, Service routes.
Why this is the answer
OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) is the routing protocol used in Cisco SD-WAN to exchange routing information between vSmart controllers and SD-WAN edge devices. It advertises three primary types of routes. OMP routes are the actual network prefixes (e.g., 10.1.1.0/24) learned from the local network or other SD-WAN sites. TLOCs (Transport Locators) represent the physical interfaces on the SD-WAN edge devices that connect to the underlying transport network (e.g., public internet, MPLS). They are crucial for establishing tunnels. Service routes are used to advertise services available within the SD-WAN fabric, such as firewall or IPS services, allowing traffic to be steered to these services. MP-BGP and LISP routes are not directly advertised by OMP; MP-BGP is used for control plane communication in some SD-WAN architectures but not for OMP route exchange, and LISP is a different overlay technology.
