Configure AppQoE service controllers and nodes using the CLI

Configure an external service node

1. Enable TCP optimization.

   Example:

   config-transaction
   sdwan appqoe tcpopt enable
   no sslproxy enable

2. Create a virtual port group interface.

   Starting from Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.14.1a AppQoE cluster handles both IPv6 and IPv4 traffic.

   Example:

   interface VirtualPortGroup virtual-port-group-number
   service-insertion appqoe
   ip address ip-address mask

3. Create a service node group.

   Example:

   service-insertion service-node-group appqoe service-node-group-name
   service-node service-node-ip-address

4. Configure the service node as service plane heavy.

   Example:

   platform resource service-plane-heavy

   Note

   If you configure Cisco Catalyst 8000V as service-plane heavy, you need to reload it to enable the service plane..

Configure a service controller

1. Create a service controller and assign it to a service controller group.

   Example:

   config-transaction
   service-insertion appnav-controller-group appqoe appqoe-controller-group-name
   appnav-controller controller-ip-address

2. Create a service node group and add service nodes to it.

   Example:

   service-insertion service-node-group appqoe service-node-group-name
   service-node service-node-ip-address

   Note

   You can configure multiple external service nodes in a service node group.

3. Configure service context for the controller and service node groups.

   Example:

   service-insertion service-context appqoe/1
   appnav-controller-group appqoe-controller-group-name
   service-node-group service-node-group-name
   enable
   vrf default
