Re: 350-401 topic 1 question 1008

Answer is D
vManage uses a southbound API to interact with Cisco SD-WAN devices in the fabric.

In the context of software-defined networking (SDN) and network management, a southbound API is an interface that enables a controller or management system (like vManage) to communicate with and control the underlying network devices (such as vEdge routers, cEdge routers, and vSmart controllers in the Cisco SD-WAN fabric).
