What distinguishes a cEdge router from a vEdge router in the Catalyst SD-WAN data plane?

cEdge routers are used only in the service provider network, while vEdge routers are used at enterprise sites

cEdge routers are only virtual, while vEdge routers are always physical appliances

cEdge routers run on Cisco IOS-XE and support additional enterprise features, while vEdge routers run on the vEdge OS

cEdge routers only support IPsec tunnels, while vEdge routers support both IPsec and GRE tunnels

In the Catalyst SD-WAN data plane, what is the primary function of a vEdge router?

To distribute routing and policy information to edge devices

To forward data traffic and establish secure tunnels to other edge devices

To authenticate and onboard new devices into the SD-WAN fabric

To provide centralized management and monitoring of the SD-WAN

How does an edge device forward data traffic to a destination in another site in the Catalyst SD-WAN?

It encapsulates the packet in an IPsec tunnel to the TLOC associated with the destination OMP route

It sends the packet to the vManage server, which forwards it to the destination

It uses the native WAN routing table to forward the packet directly to the destination's public IP address

It sends the packet to the vSmart controller, which forwards it to the destination

A branch office has two WAN links: MPLS and broadband Internet. The SD-WAN edge router receives an OMP route for a corporate data center prefix with two TLOCs: one via MPLS and one via Internet. The OMP route has equal administrative distance and the same preference. How does the edge router forward traffic to that prefix by default?

It always prefers the MPLS TLOC because it is more reliable.

It load-balances across both TLOCs based on the configured load-balancing algorithm.

It uses the Internet TLOC because it has a higher bandwidth.

It selects the TLOC with the lower IP address as the primary path.

In the Catalyst SD-WAN data plane, what does a TLOC represent?

A secure tunnel that carries encrypted user traffic

A logical tunnel endpoint that combines a transport IP address, a tunnel type, and a color

A policy that determines how traffic is routed

A prefix that is reachable behind an edge device
