Specify the VRF for Auto-sense ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Configuration

Before you begin

On switches that support only a single active VRF, ensure a user-defined VRF with a different name does not exist.

About this task

Perform this procedure to specify the VRF that Auto-sense uses for the SD-WAN configuration. On models that support a single active VRF, Auto-sense cannot create the dynamic SD-WAN VRF if an IP configuration already exists.

Note

Note

If the running switch configuration includes the dynamic SD-WAN VRF and you complete this procedure, the switch renames the dynamic VRF to your specified name, and converts the configuration to static.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, expand Configuration > Fabric.
  2. Select AutoSense.
  3. Select the SD-WAN tab.
  4. In SD-WAN VRF, type the name of the VRF.
  5. Select Apply.
