Provides instructions for validating the deployment of SD-WAN Control Components in AWS, ensuring all components operate as expected and the cloud installation is functional.
This topic describes how to verify the deployment of SD-WAN Control Components in AWS.
Before you begin
Infrastructure: To verify the deployment of SD-WAN Control Components in AWS, use the AWS portal to confirm that the virtual machines hosting each SD-WAN Control Component are active.
Services: To verify that Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN services are operating after deployment of the SD-WAN Control Components, follow these steps.
Procedure
-
Check for a successful ping to the virtual machine that hosts Cisco SD-WAN Manager .
-
Log in to the controller instance using AWS console with user as admin. You may be prompted to configure a new password. Once configured, verify login via SSH to the public IP of the controller.
-
Use SSH to connect to SD-WAN Manager, and use the request nms all status command. The output shows the status of all the SD-WAN Manager services. Confirm 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
