Updated: July 7, 2026

Want to summarize with AI?

Outlines procedures for verifying deployment and operation of control components in Azure, including checking VM activity, confirming SD-WAN services status, and establishing control connections for SD-WAN Control Components.

This procedure describes how to verify deployment of SD-WAN Control Components in Azure.

Note

For more information about tasks in Azure, see the Azure documentation.

Infrastructure: To verify the deployment of SD-WAN Control Components within virtual machines in Azure, use the Azure portal to check that the VMs hosting each SD-WAN Control Component are active.
Services: The procedure in next section describes the procedure to verify that Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN services are operating after deployment of the SD-WAN Control Components.

Before you begin

Follow these steps to verify Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN services.

Procedure

	1.	Check for a successful ping to the VM that hosts SD-WAN Manager.
	2.	Log in to SD-WAN Manager.
	3.	Use SSH to connect to SD-WAN Manager, and use the request nms all status command. The output shows the status of all of the SD-WAN Manager services. Ensure that the application server is active. The following excerpt of the request nms all status command output shows that the application server is active: `vmanage# request nms all status NMS service proxy Enabled: true Status: running PID:2881 for 9479s NMS service proxy rate limit Enabled: true Status: running PID:4359 for 9521s NMS application server Enabled: true Status: running PID:6131 for 9419s ...`
	4.	After installing theSD-WAN Control Components, follow the steps in Cisco SD-WAN Overlay Network Bring-Up Process to establish the control connections for the SD-WAN Control Components and to verify that each controller is operational.
