Introduction

Cisco IWAN App (or the Cisco IWAN on APIC-EM) extends Software Defined Networking to the branch with an application-centric approach based on business policy and application rules. This provides IT centralized management with distributed enforcement across the network.

Cisco IWAN App automates and orchestrates Cisco IWAN deployments with an intuitive browser-based GUI. A new router can be provisioned in a matter of minutes without any knowledge of the Command Line Interface (CLI). Business priorities are translated into network policies based on Cisco best practices and validated designs. Cisco IWAN App dramatically reduces the time required for configuring advanced network services through the use of automation and simple, predefined workflows.

Cisco IWAN App offers a turnkey solution that allows IT to get out of the weeds of managing low-level semantics like VPN, QoS, optimization, ACL policies. Instead, IT can focus on the bigger picture, such as, aligning network resources with business priorities and delivering outstanding user experience that result in better business outcomes.

Cisco IWAN App includes the following features:

■Zero touch provisioning—Plug and play for remote devices without user intervention

■Simple workflows—Use case driven with step-by-step and site-to-site provisioning

■Business level policies—Rules drive network actions, abstraction of underlying policy configuration

■Network monitoring—Status, alerting of network issues

System Requirements

The following sections describe the system requirements for Cisco IWAN App:

■Hardware Requirements

■Software Requirements

■Supported Multi-Center Devices

■Supported Spoke Devices

■Platforms and their Roles

■NetFlow Collectors

Hardware Requirements

Cisco IWAN App requires a server with the following capabilities/software:

■Server—64-bit x86

■CPU—6 (2.4GHz)

■RAM—64GB

For a multi-host hardware deployment (two or three hosts), 32GB RAM is sufficient for each host.

■Storage—500 Gigabytes or preferably 1 Terabyte HDD

■Network Adapter—1x

■200 MBps Disk I/O speed

Software Requirements

For Cisco IWAN on APIC-EM, the following software is required on the server:

■Browser—Chrome (version 46.0 or higher)

Supported Multi-Center Devices

■ASR 1000 Series

–License—Image with licenses for Advanced IP Services or Advanced Enterprise Services

Supported Spoke Devices

■ISR 4000 Series

–License—Appx and Security

Platforms and their Roles

■ASR 1002—Dedicated multi-center

■ASR 1001x—Hub or dedicated multi-center

■ASR 1002x—Hub or dedicated multi-center

■ASR1006—Hub or dedicated multi-center

■ASR1004—Hub or dedicated multi-center

■ISR 4451—Hub, branch, or dedicated multi-center

■ISR 4431—Hub, branch, or dedicated multi-center

■ISR 4351—Branch

■ISR 4331—Branch

■ISR4321—Branch

■CSR— Dedicated multi-center

■ASR 1013 —Hub or dedicated multi-center

■ASR 1001—Hub or dedicated multi-center

NetFlow Collectors

NetFlow collector provides Application Visibility. The two supported NetFlow collectors for Cisco IWAN App are: Cisco Prime and LiveAction.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure Release 3.0 or higheris supported by Cisco IWAN App. See Related Documentation.

Supported Cisco Platforms and Software Releases

Cisco IWAN App supports the following Cisco router platforms and software releases.

Table 1 Supported Cisco Platforms

Platform

Models

Software Release

Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers

4451-X

3.16.1aS (ED)

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers

ASR1013

3.16.1aS (ED)

Limitations and Restrictions

■Service updates are not supported.

Branch provisioning will fail if this is skipped and there is no recovery mechanism available other than resetting the Grapevine.

■IWAN interaction with Plug and Play (PnP) for handling unclaimed device may not work as expected on very slow WAN links.

■IP Prefix auto-learning identifies direct connected routes only, and does not recognize and subnets behind the core device.

■Spoke sites behind Network Address Translation (NAT) is not supported.

■A colocated Performance Routing (PFR) Master Controller (MC), integrated with a hub border router is supported in Proof of Concept (POC) or test environments only. The supported configuration for a real time environment is separate hosts—Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers or Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V Series—acting as MC. A colocated MC hub topology enabled for a POC or test environment will not be upgraded to a real time environment and a new Cisco IWAN App instance must be created for the real time environment.
