Configuring the B04 Branch Office RVC destination

B04 is a RVC destination, i.e. there is no SD-WAN appliance on the related Site.

The SD-WAN Orchestrator allows traffic of an unequipped Site to be measured and controlled by the appliances of the remote equipped Sites (B02 and B03 in "Use Case 1"). For this reason, B04 is called a RVC destination Site. Only one RVC destination is authorized per Site. A RVC destination is mainly identified by one or several LAN subnet(s).

A group of remote appliances cooperate to measure the traffic (Application Visibility) and detect flow congestions (Application Control) of the RVC destination. Note that the following measurements are not done for a RVC:

Delay/Jitter/Loss
measurement and control of shadow traffic (traffic between RVC destination sites)
end-to-end bandwidth tracking

Identifying the RVC destination

Since a RVC destination is never provisioned on the ZTP Server, you must configure it manually in the SD-WAN Orchestrator.

1 In the Network -> Configuration window, click

2 In the General panel, enter the Name of the RVC destination as well as the name of the related Site (B04).

Configuring the LAN Subnet

As a second step, configure the LAN of the B04 RVC destination which includes one subnet at least. Refer to "Use Case 1" diagram where the LAN information is displayed in green.

1 Enter the Subnet IP Address (10.1.10.253) and Prefix Length (24).

Configuring the WAN

As a third step, configure the unique WAN linked to the B04 RVC destination: MPLS.

1 As you already defined the 'MPLS' type of Transport Network for the Data Center WAN1 and B02 WAN1, select it from the stack.

When configuring a WAN for the first time, type the name of the network you are connected to, 'MPLS' in the current example. Clearly identify each name through customization. Once a Transport Network type has been defined, you can select it from the stack when configuring subsequent appliance or RVC WANs.

Note that the 'Not Specified' option corresponds to any network or a combination of several networks.

2 In the Access Bandwidth fields, define the up and down throughput (in kilobits per second) allocated to the WAN: 6000.
3 Validate your input by clicking the Create button.

If the RVC destination already exists and you modify any data, click the Update button.
