OMP, or Overlay Management Protocol, is a critical component of the Cisco SD-WAN solution. It performs several functions essential to the operation of the SD-WAN network:

A. Advertisement of network prefixes and their attributes: OMP advertises routes, TLOCs (Transport Location), and services within the SD-WAN fabric. It facilitates the distribution of routing information and related location mappings across the network, ensuring that all nodes have the necessary data to route traffic efficiently.

E. Segmentation and differentiation of traffic: OMP enables the segmentation of traffic into different VPNs or VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances). This allows for the creation of separate, secure environments within the same physical infrastructure, catering to various service levels and user groups.

 Cisco DNA Center allows management of non-Cisco devices through southbound protocols by creating device packs using an SDK (Software Development Kit). This enables the DNA Center to discover network devices from different vendors and manage their configurations effectively. The device packs act like device drivers for network devices, allowing DNA Center to attach and discover the device. Cisco has developed an SDK so that packs for other devices can be developed, which HCL used to demonstrate the end-to-end management capabilities of their service1. References := DNA Center Rapidly On-boards non-Cisco Devices - Cisco Community
