vManage: This is the main component of SDWAN Management, this will give the

GUI for managing complete sdwan solution, all the other components are part of it and
will get integrated to it but all will be managed by it only.
vSmart: This is the main component for the complete control plane operations of
SDWAN, this will be responsible to taking decisions for all the control plane and policy
plane for sdwan, all WAN edges will form OMP tunnels with vSmart which will be used to
exchange the routing updates between the WAN edges as well as the policy exchange
between them.
vBond: This playa role in SDWAN orchestration plane, which is responsible for performing
automation features like PnP (Plug n Play) or ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning) along with
that vBond is also responsible for device onboarding.

VPN in SDWAN components are the other name of VRF, unlike VRF they cannot be
configured with name.
VPN 0 is reserved for all the control connection as well as the management traffic, whereas
they also have VPN 512, which is just responsible for handling management traffic.

To enforce the inherent separation between services (such as prefixes that belong to the
enterprise) and transport (the network that connects the vEdge routers), all the transport
interfaces (that is, all the TLOCs) are kept in the transport VPN, which is internally
maintained as VPN 0. This ensures that the transport network cannot reach the service
network by default. Multiple transport interfaces can belong to the same transport VPN,
and packets can be forwarded to and from transport interfaces.

Management ports are kept separate as well and maintain a separate VPN, which is
internally maintained as VPN 512.

VPN 0 is the transport VPN. It carries control traffic over secure DTLS or TLS connections
between vSmart controllers and vEdge routers, and between vSmart controllers and vBond
orchestrators. Initially, VPN 0 contains all a device's interfaces except for the management
interface, and all the interfaces are disabled. For the control plane to establish itself so that
the overlay network can function, you must configure WAN transport interfaces in VPN 0.

VPN 512 is the management VPN. It carries out-of-band network management traffic
among the Viptela devices in the overlay network. By default, VPN 512 is configured and
enabled. You can modify this configuration if desired.
On vEdge routers, the interfaces in VPN 0 connect to some type of transport network or
cloud, such as the Internet, MPLS, or Metro Ethernet. For each interface in VPN 0, you must
set an IP address, and you create a tunnel connection that sets the color and encapsulation
for the WAN transport connection.
