|||
|
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Monitor and Maintain |
|||
|
This feature enhances the admin-tech file to generate or collect more detailed feature specific information. The feature-specific technical information is generated in addition to the regular information using the tech filter. The admin-tech file can collect more detailed feature-specific information with the tech feature filter. For example, you can generate separate folders in the admin tech file for IPsec and security policy, which can be helpful when troubleshooting. |
|||
|
Network-Wide Path Insight Integration with Cisco Identity Services Engine |
When Cisco Identity Service Engine is integrated with Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, this feature enables traces to provide the identity of users who send traffic to and receive traffic from applications. |
||
|
Added support for using an IPv6 address when pinging a device. Also added support for using an IPv6 address when running a traceroute, configuring packet capture, and simulating flows. |
|||
|
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN NAT |
|||
|
ICMP Endpoint Tracker for NAT DIA for IPv4 or IPv6 Interfaces |
This feature allows you to configure an ICMP endpoint tracker over a DIA path. You can configure the ICMP tracker for NAT DIA on IPv4 or IPv6 endpoints. You can configure ICMP tracker using the Tracker or the IPv6 Tracker features under transport profile in configuration groups. |
||
| You can configure the Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) by using the RA prefix to automatically assign IPv6 addresses for NAT66 prefix translations. | |||
| Flow stickiness records the flow level state of the NAT path and ensures that the application flows don't get reset due to a change in the NAT path. When the first packet match fails in deep packet inspection (DPI), the Edge router ensures the first flow for this unknown application to stick to the original path, bypassing the policy to change the path when it is recognized by the DPI engine a few packets later. | |||
|
You can configure the Centralized data policy by using the nat use-vpn 0 command, which ensures that matching traffic is sent to VPN 0 after the source IP is translated, based on the policy match criteria. This feature is supported from service and from tunnel. The fallback option ensures that the traffic falls back to routing and takes the overlay path when the DIA route is not available. |
|||
|
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Multi-Region Fabric (also Hierarchical SD-WAN) |
|||
|
With this feature, the preferred color group action in app-route and data-policy has additional color-restrict option available to restrict traffic to configured colors. With this option, if multi tiered preferred colors are not available then, the traffic is dropped. |
|||
|
A management region is a specialized region that can span all access regions in a Multi-Region Fabric architecture. A management region enables hub-and-spoke connectivity between any router in the network and one or more management gateways. Connectivity between a router and a management gateway uses access region transport services. The connectivity does not use the core region transport service, even when the router and management gateway are in different access regions. |
|||
|
Configure Multi-Region Fabric and Related Features Using Configuration Groups |
Configure Multi-Region Fabric features, such as role, region, and so on, and configure transport gateway path behavior on routers, using configuration groups. |
||
|
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Policy Groups |
|||
|
Configure Traffic and Flow Visibility for Application Priority and SLA policy |

||
|
This feature supports Secure Service Edge configurations for Cisco Secure Access as provider. |
|||
|
The Application Catalog feature provides visibility and identification for applications running in your network environment. The Application Catalog is continuously updated as new applications are developed and existing ones are updated, ensuring that your Cisco SD-WAN Manager environment can adapt to changes in application use. The Cisco SD-WAN Manager integrates Kubernetes cluster discovery and monitoring to monitor your network infrastructure and your containerized applications from a single interface. The feature streamlines the monitoring of your network and applications while providing superior visibility and control. |
