Technology: SD-WAN Manufacturer: Cisco Software: IOS-XE Universal 17.5 Platform: vManage 20.6   In this material, you will see how router onboarding in Cisco SD-WAN is carried out. I will also show you how to load a configuration template into your router. In our company’s demo set, we have simulated three new sites: Site1 on the […]

Technology: SD-WAN Manufacturer: Cisco Software: IOS-XE Universal 17.5 Platform: vManage 20.6   A template is a router configuration template. There are two types of templates in Cisco SD-WAN: Device Template and Feature Template. In this entry, we deal with the Device Template.   Each SD-WAN router is assigned one Device Template. On the other hand, […]

Technology: SD-WAN Manufacturer: Cisco Software: IOS-XE Universal 17.5 Platform: vManage 20.6   In an earlier post, we showed how to configure the base template of the c1121x SD-WAN router. Using the base configuration, we assign values to all routers of a given type. Now we will move on to configuring values specific to a specific […]

How does Zero-Touch Provisioning work? SD-WAN devices are assigned by Cisco to the Smart Account and Virtual Account of customer. This is reflected in Plug and Play connect portal (PnP). In the background, the SDWAN cloud provisioning process assigns the identity of the customer organization and starts the sd-wan controllers provisioning. After device unboxing router […]

The BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) is a protocol that detects link failures as part of the Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) high availability solution, is enabled by default on all vEdge routers, and you cannot disable it. BFD and related parameters: Path liveliness and quality measurement detection protocol: Up/Down, loss/latency/jitter, IPSec tunnel MTU, Runs between all routers in […]

The Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) is the protocol responsible for establishing and maintaining the Cisco SD-WAN control plane. It provides the following services: Orchestration of overlay network communication, including connectivity among network sites, service chaining, and VPN topologies Distribution of service-level routing information and related location mappings Distribution of data plane security parameters Central control […]
