Which Cisco SD-WAN component manages the overall fabric configuration and provides a GUI for administrators?

• A. vManage
• B. vBond
• C. vSmart
• D. FMC

Answer: (A)

Centralized fabric management and GUI-based administration are being tested. In Cisco SD-WAN, vManage serves as the centralized management plane, holding the fabric configuration, templates, policies, and the overall topology, and it provides the graphical user interface that administrators use to design, configure, and monitor the WAN. Through vManage you create VPNs, set application and transport policies, define QoS, and push those configurations to the edge devices. The other components have different roles: vSmart handles the control plane and routing information distribution, vBond handles device authentication and initial bootstrap, and FMC is focused on security management rather than fabric configuration. So the component that best fits “manages the overall fabric configuration and provides a GUI for administrators” is vManage.
