Which component orchestrates centralized configuration deployment through templates and policies?

• A. vBond
• B. vSmart
• C. vManage
• D. WAN Edge

Answer: (C)

Centralized configuration deployment through templates and policies is handled by the management plane. vManage provides the interface to create device templates, define and manage policies, and push those configurations out to the WAN Edge devices across the fabric. It acts as the central orchestrator for configuration management, storing templates, versioning, and distributing them to edges. The other components play different roles: vBond handles initial authentication and device rendezvous to join the fabric; vSmart runs the overlay control plane and enforces routing and policies; WAN Edge devices are the endpoints that receive the deployed configurations and implement them. So the component responsible for orchestrating centralized config deployment via templates and policies is vManage.
