Alarms by Category

The table below lists the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN alarms by category and briefly describes the recovery procedure to use when an alarm condition occurs.

As a reminder, categories are the following:

Underlay: physical connection between devices (LAN, WAN), VRRP or HA state change, appliance configuration
Overlay: connection between appliances or external gateways through IPsec tunnels
Services: services provided with the appliances such as application visibility, application control, WAN optimization, firewall
EQS: site EQS for applications and site connectivity
Resources: device local resources, i.e. hardware monitoring
Management: connection to components

Underlay

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Network interface down [interface name]

Critical

Check physical connections with the device.

Network interface error [interface name]

Critical

Check the interface configuration parameters.

No IP address [Transport Network Identifier name]

Critical

Define a correct IP address for the configured WAN interface.

No default gateway [Transport Network Identifier name]

Critical

Define a default gateway for the configured WAN interface.

VRRP state change

Minor

Status change alarm.

HA state change

Minor

Status change alarm.

Configuration failure

Critical

There is a configuration version mismatch between the SD-WAN application and the appliances. Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

HA Configuration failure

Critical

Check the Alarms window to identify the issue.

Check the Routing section of the Troubleshooting window (Appliances -> Advanced Troubleshooting) and verify the status of the HA appliances.

Fix your HA configuration.

HA Peer unreachable

Critical

The HA connection may be broken due to an appliance reboot, an unplugged cable, a power failure or an incident on another client device (for example, port down on a switch). Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Overlay

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Disconnected from the overlay

Major

The specified site is fully isolated from the rest of the network (zero overlay tunnel). Check your appliance configuration and define at least one IPsec tunnel.

Tunnel failure (appliance)

Critical

Refer to the Alarms window to identify the issue.

Check the Tunnels/Connections supervision table you access from the main Dashboard and verify the state of the GRE/IPsec tunnels.

Fix your appliance configuration.

External tunnel failure (External Gateway)

Critical

Check that the definition of the External VPN Gateway and the configuration of tunnels match the configuration of the remote VPN gateway the appliance tries to connect to.

Harmony Connect failure

Critical

A site in Check Point Harmony Connect is in failure. Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

LAN BGP peering failure

Major

Check the Local Peer IP address in the LAN and the Site AS number.

Connection to AWS failure

Major/Critical

May be raised when the connection is being created. If the issue persists, check that the corresponding AWS resources (Customer Gateway and VPN connection) still exist and contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Connection to Azure failure

Major/Critical

May be raised when the connection is being created. If the issue persists, check that the corresponding Azure resources (local network gateway and vnet gateway connection or VPN sites and connections for Virtual WAN) still exist. Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Cloud connection failure

Critical

Check that the cloud gateway still exists and prerequisites are met.

Invalid Credentials

Critical

Check the Cloud Access definition and contact your cloud account administrator.

Cloud connection cannot be created

Major/Critical

Check the Cloud Access definition and contact your cloud account administrator.

Cloud connection cannot be modified

Major/Critical

Check that the cloud gateway still exists and prerequisites are met.

Cloud connection cannot be deleted

Major/Critical

Check that the cloud gateway still exists and prerequisites are met.

IS-IS adjacency lost

Critical

May be raised when no IS-IS adjacency is detected by the LLDP TLV 127 subtype 7 received from the SD-WAN appliances.

Check the IS-IS adjacency state on the neighbor switch and contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

LLDP neighbor disappears

Critical

May be raised when a LLDP neighbor disappears (detected by the absence of LLDP frames received from an SD-WAN appliance).

Check the LLDP tx status on the neighbor switch and contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Services

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Visibility down

Major

Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Control down

Major

Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

WAN Optimization down

Major

Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Synchronization lost

Major

Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Too many DTI sessions

Major

The number of DTI connections exceeds 95% of the maximum threshold of authorized connections.

The alarm is cleared when this value decreases.

Connection to the SYSLOG server is lost

Major

Check network connectivity between the SYSLOG server and the appliance.

EQS

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Site EQS for Top Applications dropped below 5

Major

The alarm is cleared when this value increases.

Site EQS for High Applications dropped below 5

Major

The alarm is cleared when this value increases.

End-to-end connectivity lost

Major

Check end-to-end connectivity between Site A and Site B for the specified WAN Service (broken NAP).

Resources

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Disk is almost full (<5% left) on the volume [volume name]

Major

For hardware resource alarms, contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Disk failure

Major

 

Reboot

Minor

 

WAN out of resource

Major

Throughput or the number of flows exceeds the capacity of the appliance, or packet loss occurs on Ethernet interfaces.

Contact Extreme Networks Support. They will determine whether a more powerful appliance needs to be installed.

Management

Alarm

Severity

Troubleshooting

Disconnected from Orchestrator

Critical

One or several SD-WAN platform components are disconnected (either never connected or not recently connected) from the Orchestrator. Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.

Connectivity with Orchestrator impaired

Major

One or several SD-WAN platform components are disconnected (either never connected or not recently connected) from ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning server). Contact ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Support.
