If you have remote branch sites with only Internet connectivity and you want to extend the capabilities of fabric to that site, or if you have a branch office with a private WAN connection and you want to have a backup link using the public Internet, you can extend the Fabric network over the Internet towards a remote branch by connecting Fabric switches through ExtremeCloud SD-WAN.
Fabric Extend Integration with ExtremeCloud SD-WAN integrates the following features for SD-WAN deployments:
Automation of Fabric Extend Tunnels over IP WAN infrastructure
MTU configuration per IS-IS logical interface for Layer 3 interfaces
SD-WAN infrastructure adjusts packet size to accommodate restricted MTU paths, such as Internet, by fragmenting the end user IP packets.
This deployment provides the following benefits:
Note
On 5320 Series models that support a single VRF, ensure you specify the VRF that Auto-sense uses for SD-WAN. For more information, see Specify the VRF for Auto-sense ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Configuration.
