Enabling an extended AR window causes a router to add a time stamp to each packet using the IPsec tunnel. This prevents valid packets from being dropped if they arrive out of sequence.

This option is turned off by default. Click On to enable it.

Range: 10 ms to 2048 ms

Default: 256 ms

Enter the name of the exit interface for NTP communication. If configured, the system sends NTP traffic to this interface.

For example, enter GigabitEthernet1 or Loopback0.

Graceful Restart Enable

Enable graceful restart. By default, the graceful restart for OMP is enabled.

Paths Advertised Per Prefix

Specify the maximum number of equal-cost routes to advertise per prefix. A Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device advertises routes to Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controllers, and the controllers redistribute the learned routes, advertising each route-TLOC tuple. A Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device can have up to four TLOCs, and by default advertises each route-TLOC tuple to the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller. If a local site has two Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices, a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller could potentially learn eight route-TLOC tuples for the same route. If the configured limit is lower than the number of route-TLOC tuples, the best route or routes are advertised.

Range: 1 through 16

Default: 4

ECMP Limit

Specify the maximum number of OMP paths received from the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller that can be installed in the local route table of the Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device. By default, a Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN device installs a maximum of four unique OMP paths into its route table.

Range: 1 through 16

Default: 4

Advertisement Interval (In Second)

Specify the time between OMP update packets.

Range: 0 through 65535 seconds

Default: 1 second

Hold Time(In Second)

Specify how long to wait before closing the OMP connection to a peer. If the peer doesn’t receive three consecutive keepalive messages within the hold time, the OMP connection to the peer is closed.

Range: 0 through 65535 seconds

Default: 60 seconds

EOR Timer(In Second)

Specify how long to wait after an OMP session has gone down and then come back up to send an end-of-RIB (EOR) marker. After this marker is sent, any routes that weren’t refreshed after the OMP session came back up are considered to be stale and are deleted from the route table.

Range: 1 through 3600 seconds (1 hour)

Default: 300 seconds (5 minutes)

Overlay AS

Specify a BGP AS number that OMP advertises to the BGP neighbors of the router.

Shutdown

Enable this option to disable OMP and disable the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN overlay network. OMP is enabled by default.

To advertise a route over OMP, configure the OMP administrative distance for the IPv6 address lower than the leaked route administrative distance.

Range: 1 through 255

Graceful Restart(In Second)

Specify how often the OMP information cache is flushed and refreshed. A timer value of 0 disables OMP graceful restart.

Range: 0 through 604800 seconds (168 hours, or 7 days)

Treat Hierarchical and Direct Paths Equally

(Minimum supported release: Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1)

In a Multi-Region Fabric scenario, if using secondary regions, enable this option to enable packets to use all available paths rather than only direct paths.

By default, when a direct path is available to reach a destination, the overlay management protocol (OMP) enables only the direct path to the routing forwarding layer because the direct path uses fewer hops. This logic is part of route optimization. The result is that the forwarding layer, which includes application-aware routing policy, can only use the direct path.

Treat Hierarchical and Direct Paths Equally disables this comparison of the number of hops so that traffic can use either the direct secondary-region path (fewer hops) or the primary-region path (more hops). When you disable the comparison of the number of hops, OMP applies equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP) to all routes, and packets can use all available paths.

Transport Gateway Path Behavior

(Minimum supported release: Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1)

Choose one of the following:

• Prefer Transport Gateway Path: For devices that can connect through a transport gateway, use only the transport gateway paths, even if other paths are available.

• Do ECMP Between Direct and Transport Gateway Paths: For devices that can connect through a transport gateway and through direct paths, apply ECMP to all available paths.

Site Type

(Minimum supported release: Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.13.1)

If you configure a value for Transport Gateway Path Behavior, this field appears. Optionally, choose one or more site types to apply the transport gateway path behavior only to those site types.

Monitoring

To enable monitoring, check the check box. You can enable monitoring only in Global mode.

Enabling monitoring displays a list of application groups. Fourteen application groups are enabled by default. You can disable or enable more applications based on your requirements. Check the check box adjacent to an application group to enable monitoring.

Monitoring

Click Monitoring drop-down list, and choose Global to trace tunnel paths regularly according to a configured time interval.

Click the toggle button to enable the continuous monitoring option in UMTS.

Maximum Number of Clients

Enter the maximum number of remote access clients that can connect to a remote access headend device. This number determines the size of the IPv4 pool allocated to the device.

If a global IPv6 pool is defined for remote access in the network hierarchy, each SD-WAN RA headend device will be allocated an IPv6 pool sufficient for the maximum number of remote access clients (8000).

• Groups PSK: Choose this option to configure a common pre-shared key for all remote access clients connecting to a device.

CA Server Setup

Choose a CA server for certificate-based authentication. The certificate from the selected CA is used by the device to authenticate the remote access clients.
