Configure system parameters, VPN 0 and VPN 512 static routes, and interface configurations for Cisco SD-WAN Control Components.


When you configure the settings for Cisco SD-WAN Control Components for the first time, SD-WAN Manager automatically loads the device specific settings from the running configuration of the device. The configurations include system parameters, VPN 0 and VPN 512 static routes, and interface configurations. You can also click Load running config to overwrite the existing settings.

Procedure

1.

From Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Configuration > Devices > Control Components. Click Common control components settings.

2.

Configure the system parameters.

Table 1. System configuration parameters

Field

Description

Hostname

Enter a name for the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device. It can be up to 32 characters.

Site ID

Enter the identifier of the site in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN overlay network domain in which the device resides, such as a branch, campus, or data center. The site ID must be the same for all Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN devices that reside in the same site.Range: 1 through 4294967295 (232 – 1)

System IP

Enter the system IP address for the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN device, in decimal four-part dotted notation. The system IP address provides a fixed location of the device in the overlay network and is a component of the device's TLOC address. It is used as the device's loopback address in the transport VPN (VPN 0). You cannot use this same address for another interface in VPN 0.

Description

Enter any additional descriptive information about the device.

Location

Enter a description of the location of the device. It can be up to 128 characters.

Timezone

Select the timezone to use on the device.

Latitude

Enter the latitude of the device, in the format decimal-degrees.

Longitude

Enter the longitude of the device, in the format decimal-degrees.

Device groups

Enter the names of one or more groups to which the device belongs, separated by commas.

Dual stack IPv6 default

This option is available only if you select Cisco SD-WAN Manager and Cisco SD-WAN Controller.

Enable to make dual stack IPv6 as the default.

Validator Address

This option is available only if you select Cisco SD-WAN Validator.

Enter the IP address of the Cisco SD-WAN Validator.

Controller group ID

This option is available only if you select Cisco SD-WAN Controller.

Enter the Cisco SD-WAN Controller groups to which the router belongs.

Overlay ID

This option is available only if you select Cisco SD-WAN Controller.

Enter the identifier of the site in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN overlay network in which the device resides.

MRF region list

This option is available only if you select Cisco SD-WAN Controller and if you have enabled Multi-Region Fabric.

Enter the MRF regions.

3.

Configure VPN 0 interfaces by clicking Add interface.

Table 2. VPN 0

Field

Description

Interface name

Enter a name for the interface. Spell out the interface names completely (for example, eth1).

Configure all the interfaces of the router, even if you are not using them, so that they are configured in the shutdown state and so that all default values for them are configured.

Shutdown

Enable or disable the interface.

IPv4 type

Configure an IPv4 address assign type.

  • Dynamic: Choose Dynamic to set the interface as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client so that the interface receives its IP address from a DHCP server.

  • Static: Choose Static to enter an IP address that doesn't change.

  • None: Choosing this option means that IPv4 address is not configured.

IPv4 CIDR

Enter an IPv4 address.

IPv4 DHCP distance

Enter an administrative distance value for routes learned from a DHCP server. This option is available when you choose Dynamic.

Default: 1

IPv6 type

Configure an IPv6 address assign type.

  • Dynamic: Choose Dynamic to set the interface as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client so that the interface receives its IP address from a DHCP server.

  • Static: Choose Static to enter an IP address that doesn't change.

  • None: Choosing this option means that IPv6 address is not configured.

IPv6 CIDR

Enter an IPv6 IP address.

IPv6 DHCP distance

Enter an administrative distance value for routes learned from a DHCP server. This option is available when you choose Dynamic.

Default: 1

IPv6 DHCP rapid con

Enable DHCP rapid commit, to speed up the assignment of IP addresses.

Tunnel

This option is not available for Cisco SD-WAN Validator.

Enable this option to create a tunnel interface.

Tunnel color

Choose a color for the TLOC.

Allow Service

Allow services on the interface:

  • All

  • DHCP

  • NTP

  • DNS

  • ICMP

  • SSHD

  • STUN

  • NETCONF

4.

Configure IPv4 static routes by clicking Add IPv4 static route.

Table 3. IPv4 static route

Field

Description

IPv4 prefix

Enter the IPv4 address or prefix, in decimal four-point-dotted notation, and the prefix length of the IPv4 static route to configure in the VPN.

IPv4 next hop

When you click the next hop, configure these fields:

  • IPv4 Address: Enter the next-hop IPv4 address.

  • Distance: Enter the administrative distance for the route.

5.

Configure IPv6 static routes by clicking Add IPv6 static route.

Table 4. IPv6 static route

Field

Description

IPv6 prefix

Enter the IPv6 address or prefix, in decimal four-point-dotted notation, and the prefix length of the IPv6 static route to configure in the VPN.

IPv6 next hop

When you click the next hop, configure these fields:

  • IPv6 Address: Enter the next-hop IPv4 address.

  • Distance: Enter the administrative distance for the route.

6.

Configure VPN 512 interfaces by clicking Add interface.

Table 5. VPN 512

Field

Description

Interface name

Enter a name for the interface. Spell out the interface names completely (for example, eth1).

Configure all the interfaces of the router, even if you are not using them, so that they are configured in the shutdown state and so that all default values for them are configured.

Shutdown

Enable or disable the interface.

IPv4 type

Configure an IPv4 VPN interface.

  • Dynamic: Choose Dynamic to set the interface as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client so that the interface receives its IP address from a DHCP server.

  • Static: Choose Static to enter an IP address that doesn't change.

  • None

IPv4 CIDR

Enter an IPv4 IP address.
