Hi, I've been studying the last couple of months during quarantine, Python, python libraries with networking and now is the time for me to move on and finally look at SD-WAN properly because at the moment I've never worked on one, never set one up and have no clue how it works for the most part as well sadly to be honest. Below are the main questions I have at the moment about it with how it actually all works.
Are the vEdge routers dummy routers? Meaning are they just a shell almost with a shell config that you can do on them but in the end all they do is hookup to the vManage controller and everything is configured from there?
Are the vSmart, vBond and vManage appliances all seperate physical appliances or are they all in the one physical appliance?
Do SD-WAN devices stop at the border of an enterprise/data centre network? Meaning are all the other devices below it core/dist/access layer routers/switches/firewalls all still normal devices (ASA's, Nexus, SRX's, Catalysts...etc)?
Is SD-WAN similar in the sense that a normal edge router would be when it has SLA's on it and PBR that dictates what type of route out certain packets can take? So all company network traffic send out the private MPLS connection and all public internet traffic goes out the normal ISP connection?
Do technologies like MPLS run with SD-WAN vEdge routers the same way a normal router would run MPLS for the same reason and way?
Thanks everyone
