Letβs say you have two branch routers in different cities β one in Delhi and one in Bangalore.
Both are securely connected to the SD-WAN cloud, but how do they share routes, policies, and reachability without direct communication?
Thatβs where Cisco vSmart and OMP (Overlay Management Protocol) step in.
π‘ Hereβs whatβs going on under the hood: 1οΈβ£ vManage sends configuration to vSmart using NETCONF β just like your NOC team pushing templates.
2οΈβ£ vSmart applies inbound control policies β defining what routes are allowed, whatβs denied, and what gets modified.
3οΈβ£ Through OMP, vSmart distributes these routes and policies to all WAN Edge routers β ensuring that only approved routes are used across the SD-WAN fabric.
π¬ In simple words: β’ vSmart = Brain π§ β’ vManage = Controller ποΈ β’ WAN Edge Routers = Hands & Legs π
The entire setup ensures your enterprise WAN remains secure, policy-driven, and dynamically adaptive β even if hundreds of branches are talking simultaneously!
π₯ Real-world takeaway:
In traditional WAN, this kind of route control was manual and error-prone. But with SD-WAN, policy-based automation makes everything smarter, faster, and scalable.
