Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN Release 17.7.1a Cisco vManage Release 20.7.1 \ |
This feature enables you to efficiently configure default application-aware routing (AAR), data, and quality of service (QoS) policies for the edge devices. The feature provides a step-by-step workflow for categorizing the business relevance, path preference, and other parameters for network applications, and applying those preferences as traffic policy. You can configure Default AAR and QoS policies. |
Default AAR and QoS policies
Explains how the system uses Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) to categorize over 1,000 applications into three business-relevance categories (business-relevant, business-irrelevant, and default) to prioritize traffic.
Prerequisites for default AAR and QoS policies
Outlines the requirements for using default AAR and QoS policies, including knowledge of relevant applications and familiarity with SLAs and QoS markings to prioritize traffic.
Restrictions for default AAR and QoS policies
Outlines the limitations of default AAR and QoS policies, including the lack of IPv6 support and the requirement that business-relevant application groups must contain at least one application.
Supported devices for default AAR and QoS policies
Lists the Cisco hardware and software platforms compatible with default AAR and QoS policies.
Default AAR and QoS policy use cases
Explains the ideal scenario for this feature: quickly creating and deploying consistent AAR and QoS policies across all devices when setting up a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN network.
Configure default AAR and QoS policies using Cisco SD-WAN Manager
Configure default AAR and QoS policies using Cisco SD-WAN Manager to define application groups, path preferences, SLA classes, and bandwidth mappings.
Monitor default AAR and QoS policies
Configure navigation in Cisco SD-WAN Manager to verify the status of default Application Aware Routing (AAR), traffic data, and QoS policies. This task enables you to view policy lists and confirm their deployment using the platform's policy menus.
