Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.8.1a

Cisco vManage Release 20.8.1

You can now view the topology diagram of a site in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.

Site Topology Visualization in Cisco SD-WAN Manager (Phase II)

Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.9.1a

Cisco vManage Release 20.9.1

This feature supports enhanced, interactive visualization of site topology, providing information about the health of devices and tunnels in the topology. It provides you with an improved monitoring and troubleshooting experience.

Information About Site Topology

Cisco SD-WAN Manager generates a topology diagram for each site featuring the Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices that are deployed in a configuration group. For more information on configuration groups, see Configuration Groups and Feature Profiles.

This topology diagram displays the following information:

  • Device information: The topology diagram displays all the devices that are deployed at a selected site. It displays the model and health status of each device. When you place the cursor over a device name, you can view the hostname and the system IP address of that device. Similarly, when you click a device name, you can view detailed information about the device in the right navigation pane. From this pane, you can navigate to the device dashboard to view more details.

    In Cisco vManage Release 20.8.1, the topology diagram displays only the model and the system IP address of a device.

  • Transport information: The topology diagram displays VPN 0 and all the transport interfaces that are connected to a device, including details of the interface and the protocol. When you place the cursor over a transport interface name, you can view the average upstream and downstream speed in the last three hours.

  • Service VPN information: The topology diagram displays the ID and name of the service VPNs. When you click the drop-down arrow adjacent to the name of a service VPN, you can view the protocol, the interfaces, and the average upstream and downstream speed in the last three hours.

    The topology diagram displays a maximum of 12 service VPNs. If there are more than 12 service VPNs, click the More button to see the complete list of service VPNs in the right navigation pane.

  • Circuit health information: The color of the link between the circuit and the transport interface indicates the circuit health.

  • If one site ID changed (for example, 100 to 200), you will see both 100 and 200 on the site topology view. The old site 100 will disappear after around 30mins.

  • The global topology uses sites data from the site table API. The site table shows only the edge information. So if the Cisco SD-WAN Manager site ID is not same with any of the edge devices, then you'll not see the data for all the sites.


Note


  • If a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device is associated with a configuration group, but the device is not deployed, the topology diagram displays only the hostname and the system IP.

    However, if a device is associated with a configuration group and the device is also deployed, the topology diagram displays complete details of the device, including LAN and WAN details.

  • If a site has devices that are not associated with a configuration group, the topology diagram displays the standalone devices with only the hostname and the system IP.

  • There is no limit on the number of devices shown in the topology diagram for each site. However, if there are multiple devices in a site, the connections between the devices are not shown.

  • Adjust the zoom level of the topology diagram by clicking the zoom-in and zoom-out icons. Similarly, you can view the topology diagram in a full screen by clicking the full-screen icon.

  • Click the refresh icon to regenerate the topology diagram and view the latest data.

  • View the details of the health metrics by clicking the legend () icon.

Note


From Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.13.1a, the Controllers tab is renamed as Control Components for consistency with Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN terminology.


Network & Statistics Collection

Network and Statistics Collection is a feature in Cisco SD-WAN Manager that allows for the gathering of operational data from network devices, particularly Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices. This data collection is typically initiated by network events, such as network connectivity issues or network flaps, which can affect connection stability across the network. This feature can be enabled or disabled according to your needs.

Additionally, you can customize the interval for device statistics collection. To do so, enter the desired interval (in minutes) in the Collection Interval field, which determines how frequently statistics are collected.

From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.14.1, the Data Collection tab has been renamed to the Data Collection & Statistics, and relocated to Administration > Settings > Network Statistics Configuration and Collection. For more information, see Enable or Disable Data Collection

SD-WAN Telemetry

SD-WAN Telemetry Data Collection is a feature in Cisco SD-WAN Manager that provides the capability to gather detailed telemetry information from the network's control components and network infrastructure. This feature is enabled by default when cloud services is enabled for Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN. For Cisco-provided cloud-hosted control components, this option is enabled at the time of provisioning the control components. For more information, see Enable or Disable Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Telemetry.

From Cisco vManage Release 20.6.1, the option to enable or disable data collection for Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN telemetry Cisco SD-WAN Manager can be found under Administration > Settings > Data Collection.

View Data Policies

A centralized data policy is configured and applied on Cisco SD-WAN Controllers, and is then carried in OMP updates to the edge devices in the site-list that the policy is applied to. Centralized data policy examines fields in the headers of data packets, looking at the source and destination addresses and ports, and the protocol and DSCP values, and for matching packets, it modifies the next hop in a variety of ways or applies a policer to the packets. The policy match operation and any resultant actions are performed on the router as it transmits or receives data traffic.

BFD Protocol

The Role of BFD in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Solution

The BFD protocol detects links failures between routers. It measures data loss and latency on the data tunnel to determine the status of the devices at either end of the connection.

For data plane resiliency, the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN software implements the BFD protocol, which runs automatically on the secure IPsec and GRE connections between routers. These connections are used for the data plane, and for data traffic, and are independent of the DTLS tunnels used by the control plane.

BFD is enabled by default on all connections between Cisco vEdge devices. You cannot disable BFD. However, you can adjust the Hello packet and dead time intervals. If the timers on the two ends of a BFD link are different, BFD negotiates to use the lower value. See Configure BFD using Cisco SD-WAN Manager for information on configuring BFD for application-aware routing and configuring BFD on transport tunnels.

How BFD Works

After a Cisco vEdge device comes up and control connections are established, the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller advertises peer TLOC information to the Cisco vEdge device. Based on this TLOC information and other configuration, Cisco vEdge devices establish BFD sessions with all or some of the peer TLOCs.

BFD sends Hello packets periodically (by default, every 1 second) to determine whether the session is still operational. If a certain number of the Hello packets are not received, BFD considers that the link has failed and brings the BFD session down (the default multiplier time is 7 seconds). When BFD sessions goes down, any route that points to a next hop over that IPsec tunnel is removed from the forwarding table (FIB), but it is still present in the route table (RIB).

Interpret BFD States to Troubleshoot Connection Loss Between TLOCs

If a BFD session is down, it implies that no traffic can flow between those tlocs. If you identify any traffic disruption between a pair of TLOCs or notice that the session flap count has increased, use the show bfd sessions or the show bfd history commands to check the status of your BFD sessions. These commands help you understand whether all the BFD sessions that should have been established, have indeed been established.

BFD sessions have three valid states: Down, Init, and Up.

  • Down: Non-operational connections with other Cisco vEdge devices in the network.

  • Init: Connections that are reachable but not up yet.

  • Up: Operational connections with other Cisco vEdge devices in the network.

Each device sends an echo-request to its peer and also an echo-response for the request it receives. In the echo response, the device sends its current BFD state. Based on this, the peer changes its BFD state if required.

For information on BFD alarms generated by Cisco SD-WAN Manager, see the Permanent Alarms and Alarm Fields.

Changes in Session States Based on Echo Response from Peers

The following table shows how the BFD session states on a device change based on the session states that the peer responds with.

BFD Session State on Device BFD State sent by Peer in Echo Response BFD Status Change on Device
Up Up or Init Up (no change)
Up Down Down
Init Up or Init Up
Init Down Init (no change)
Down Down Init
Down Init Up
Down Up Down (no change)

View BFD Session Information

View Cflowd Information

Cflowd monitors traffic flowing through routers in the overlay network and exports flow information to a collector, where it can be processed by an IPFIX analyzer. For a traffic flow, Cflowd periodically sends template reports to a flow collector. These reports contain information about the flow and data extracted from the IP headers of the packets in the flow.

To configure Cflowd in a router, use centralized data policy to define a Cflowd template that specifies the location of a Cflowd collector and timers that control the flow collection.

QoS Monitoring in Cisco SD-WAN Manager

Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.2.1r

This release extends the capability of viewing interface-wise QoS information through Cisco SD-WAN Manager to support Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices. Before this release, QoS information for Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices could only be monitored through device CLI.

Note that this feature was already available for Cisco vEdge devices.

Limitations for QoS Monitoring

  • This feature is not supported for sub-interfaces.

  • This feature is not supported if per-tunnel QoS is enabled.

View QoS Information Chart

A QoS chart shows the packet speed and the number of packets dropped for each queue for the selected interface.

  1. From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Monitor > Devices.

    Cisco vManage Release 20.6.1 and earlier: From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Monitor > Network.

  2. Choose a device from the list of devices that appears.

  3. In the left pane, click QoS under the Applications area.

  4. The upper part of the right pane has the following options to choose from.

    • Interface Name: From the drop-down menu, choose the interface for which you want to view QoS data.

    • Time Range: : Choose to view the information for a specified time range—Real time, predefined time ranges (1h, 3h, 6h, and so on), or click Custom to define a time range.

      Real time QoS information can also be viewed in a tabular format. See the section View Real Time QoS Information Table.

  5. From the Chart drop-down list, choose one of the following.

    • Post Policy Rate: This option displays the speed at which data travels per second in either kbps (default) or in packets per second (PPS). This value is calculated to get the per second speed by using the formula: Post Policy Counter/10.

    OR

    • Post Policy Counter: This option displays the number of packets (or the number of packets in bytes) that have gone through the queue in the last 10 seconds.

    The QoS chart displays. The following example shows QoS data for a specified, historical time range for the selected interface. In this chart, each data point represents 10 minutes. For longer time ranges, Cisco SD-WAN Manager aggregates data points.

    Figure 1. QoS Chart

    Cisco SD-WAN Manager also displays a table below the chart. However, the table always displays historical data even if you choose the Real Time option to generate a chart. Such historical tables generated below real time charts have no connection with the real time values in the chart.

    The following example shows a table showing historical data that was generated below the real time QoS chart.

  6. From the Interface drop-down list, choose an interface.


    Note


    From Cisco vManage Release 20.8.1, you can capture IPv6 packets for tracing and troubleshooting traffic. To do this, choose an IPv6 interface from the Interface drop-down list. (Prior to Cisco vManage Release 20.8.1, only IPv4 interface capture was supported.)


  7. (Optional) Click Traffic Filter to filter the packets to capture based on values in their IP headers. Enter values for the following fields:

    1. In the Source IP field, enter the source IP address of the packet.

      For releases before Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1, enter an IPv4 address. From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1, enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

    2. In the Source Port field, enter the source port number of the packet.

    3. In the Protocol field, enter the protocol ID of the packet.

    4. In the Destination IP field, enter the destination IP address of the packet.

      For releases before Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1, enter an IPv4 address. From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1, enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

    5. In the Destination Port field, enter the destination port number of the packet.

  8. For a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device, to enable bidirectional packet capture, set the Bidirectional toggle button to On.


    Note


    The bidirectional packet capture functionality is available from Cisco vManage Release 20.7.1.


  9. Click Start.

    The packet capture begins, and progress is displayed:

    1. Packet Capture in Progress: Packet capture stops after the file of collected packets reaches 5 MB, or when you click Stop.

    3. File ready, click to download the file: Click the download icon to download the generated file.


Note


In the Cisco SD-WAN Manager cluster environments, you can run speed test and capture the packets in all the devices in the cluster irrespective of the Cisco SD-WAN Manager node that the devices are connected to. You can configure the data stream with one of the following:

  • Management IP address and VPN 512 (Cisco CSR 1000v Series platform does not support Management IP address)

  • Transport IP address and VPN 0

We do not recommend data stream configuration with the system IP address of a Cisco SD-WAN Manager node and VPN 0 in cluster environments because it limits speed test and packet capture to only the devices that are connected to the Cisco SD-WAN Manager node that is configured in the data stream.


Configure Packet Capture Using a CLI Template

Before You Begin

For more information about using CLI templates, see CLI Templates.


Note


By default, CLI templates execute commands in global config mode.


Perform these steps and ensure that Data Stream in Administration settings is in Enabled state for the monitor packet capture CLI configurations to take effect:

  1. From Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Administration > Settings.

  2. In Data Stream, choose Enabled.

    From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1, click the toggle button to enable cloud services.

  3. Choose the IP Address Type. By default, System is selected. (Transport and Management types require additional Hostname and VPN settings.)

  4. Click Save.

Configure Packet Capture for IPv4 Traffic

Define a core filter for monitoring IPv4 packet capture:

monitor capture capture-name match ipv4 source-prefix/length destination-prefix/length [bidirectional] 

Here is an example configuration to filter and capture IPv4 traffic:

monitor capture mycap match ipv4 198.51.100.0/24 host 198.51.100.1

Configure Packet Capture for IPv6 Traffic

Configure the filter for monitoring IPv6 packet capture for inbound traffic or outbound traffic or both inbound and outbound traffic (bidirectional), which passes through the interface or a control plane. Do one of the following:

  • Configure packet capture for an interface:

    monitor capture capture_name  [interface interface-name interface-num {both | in | out}] match ipv6 {{ipv6-source-prefix/length| host ipv6-src-addr| any} {ipv6-destination-prefix/length| host ipv6-dest-addr| any}}
    |protocol {<0-255>|tcp|udp} 
    {ipv6-source-prefix/length| host ipv6-src-addr| any} [{eq | lt| gt| neq |range port_number} port_number] 
    {ipv6-destination-prefix/length| host ipv6-dest-addr| any} [{eq | lt| gt| neq |range port_number} port_number]} [bidirectional]
     
  • Configure packet capture for the control plane:

    monitor capture capture_name [control-plane {both | in | out}] match ipv6 {{ipv6-source-prefix/length| host ipv6-src-addr| any} {ipv6-destination-prefix/length| host ipv6-dest-addr| any}}
    |protocol {<0-255>|tcp|udp} 
    {ipv6-source-prefix/length| host ipv6-src-addr| any} [{eq | lt| gt| neq |range port_number} port_number] 
    {ipv6-destination-prefix/length| host ipv6-dest-addr| any} [{eq | lt| gt| neq |range port_number} port_number]} [bidirectional]
     

The following examples show how to configure to filter and capture IPv6 traffic:

monitor capture test interface GigabitEthernet 5 both match ipv6 protocol tcp host 2001:3c0:1::71 host 2001:380:1::71 bidirectional 
monitor capture cap interface gig 2 in match ipv6 50::1/128 50::2/128 bidirectional
monitor capture cap interface gig 2 out match ipv6 50::1/128 50::2/128 bidirectional
monitor capture cap interface gig 2 both match ipv6 50::1/128 50::2/128 bidirectional
monitor capture cap control-plane in match ipv6 50::1/128 50::2/128 bidirectional
monitor capture cap control-plane out match ipv6 50::1/128 50::2/128 bidirectional
