SD-WAN Version 5.x: New Monitoring and Troubleshooting Features Part 1


In this first part we look into  

  • History Flow Table
  • Gateway Routing and BGP Table 
  • Firewall Logs on VCO

Part 2 will follow with information on troubleshooting using the Edge CLI

History Flow Table

for Private Segments only a summary will be displayed (see last line in above screenshot)

NOTE: the actual flow table can still be gathered via Remote Diagnostics




Gateway Routing Table and BGP Routes


 

 
After the 2 minutes the VCO closes the connection to the gateway



 

Firewall Logs on VCO

 
 
 





Again here on all my 2 VCOs the same 400 error appears, it seems that there is an unknown conversion to run, as the firewall log uses a newer clickhouse database now instead of the standard mysql.

Unfortunately up to now, none of my contacts at VMware could help me, as i assume that there is a conversion script needed for that feature.


Next blog will have a look into Toubleshooting using the Edge CLI, stay tuned...

Deep Dive on DMPO and its Performance Features (available and missing) Part 1

Image
 In the last year I got quite deep insight into ther vendors SD-WAN implementation and also have seen what various vendors are critizising about the VMware DMPO features. Also there are a lot of misconceptions on the market around some of these features. So let´s try and evaluate and look a little bit deeper into typical performance features and the VMware implementation of them Features discussed in this Blog (Part 1) Per Packet Load Balancing Forward Error Correction (FEC) Packet Replication Latency Remediation The following Features will be discussed in Part 2 of my blog TCP Optimization Techniques Dejitter Buffering SAAS Application Monitoring   Per Packet Load Balancing  Unfortunately this term can be quite easily misinterpreted, when you Google for the term and get the following result:  This behaviour (often criticized by other vendors about VMware) as described above would only work quite well when you have very similar or equal connections. If for example 2 ...

Deep Dive on DMPO and its Performance Features (available and missing) Part 2

Image
  The following Features will be discussed in this second part of my blog TCP Optimization Techniques Dejitter Buffering SAAS Application Monitoring   Before diving into the mechanism here an important basic fact:     Remediation is never done for applications classified as LOW priority     TCP optimization TCP has some embedded traffic management capabilities for reliable traffic delivery  (window.size, slow-start, RTT handling,...)  But there are a bunch of factors which can negatively influence the performance, like Latency TCP-slow-start Last Mile network problems Out of Sequence packets Busty losses end host TCP limitations (missing fatures like SACK, windows scaling or timestamp options)  Typically TCP optimization helps on the transmission side and improve the download time for large data transfers over latency-high and lossy WAN links. But it can also be used for improving perfomance when on the receiver side the amount ...

Secure Edge CLI Access: Addditional Useful Commands and Parameter

 additionally to the possible commands and paramteres described in the docu Secure Edge CLI: Output Examples V5.2 there are a lot of useful commands and procedures you can use  Here some of the commands which does not have a direct representation in the Remote Diagnostics debug --dec  <shows the actual detailed status and QOE for each path RX and TX>   debug --peer_stats all <shows packet counts and peer-is for all peers> the peer-id is needed for a detailed dump of peer statistics per peer diag PATHS_DUMP --peer <peer-id> <shows counter and QOE parameters for all paths to a specific peer> for a nice display you need a terminal window of 350 chars/line if you have priviledged shell access you can also use cd /opt/vc/bin in this directory you find a lot of internal but useful prgrams, phyton or shell scripts like...  ./dispcnt here an example for usage:   ./dispcnt -s  bgp -t 15 -z   shows all non-zero bgp counter updated e...
