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

Note

Note

This procedure only applies to models that support a single active VRF. For more information, see Fabric Engine and VOSS Feature Support Matrix.

Before you begin

Ensure a user-defined VRF with a different name does not exist on the switch.

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. On these models, 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 Globals tab.
  4. In Sd-Wan Vrf, type the name of the VRF.
  5. Select Apply.

Globals Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Globals tab.

Name Description

AccessDiffservEnable

Enables or disables the differentiated service type as access for Auto-sense ports. The default is enabled.

DataIsid

Specifies the data I-SID used by the Auto-sense ports.

EapolVoiceLldpAuthEnable

Enables the EAPoL LLDP authentication for Auto-sense voice ports. The default is disabled.

FaMsgAuthEnable

Enables or disables the FA message authentication for Auto-sense ports. The default is enabled.

FaAuthenticationKey

Specifies the FA authentication key for Auto-sense ports.

IsisHelloAuthType

Specifies the authentication type for IS-IS hello packets on Auto-sense ports:

  • None
  • simple - simple password authentication uses a text password in the transmitted packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the packet.
  • hmac-md5 - MD5 authentication creates an encoded checksum in the transmitted packet. The receiving router uses an authentication key (password) to verify the MD5 checksum of the packet.
  • hmac-sha256 - with SHA-256 authentication, the switch adds an hmac-sha–256 digest to each Hello packet. The switch that receives the Hello packet computes the digest of the packet and compares it with the received digest.
Note: Secure Hashing Algorithm 256 bits (SHA-256) is a cipher and a cryptographic hash function of SHA2 authentication. You can use SHA-256 to authenticate IS-IS Hello messages. This authentication method uses the SHA-256 hash function and a secret key to establish a secure connection between switches that share the same key. This feature is in full compliance with RFC 5310.

The default authentication type is none.

IsisHelloAuthKeyId

Specifies the IS-IS hello authentication number key id for the Auto-sense ports.

IsisHelloAuthKey

Specifies the IS-IS hello authentication number key for the Auto-sense ports. You must configure the IS-IS hello authentication key along with the IS-IS hello authentication type.

OnboardingIsid

Specifies the onboarding I-SID used by the Auto-sense ports.

Qos8021pOverrideEnable

Overrides the incoming 802.1p bits on ports that operate in Auto-sense mode. The default is enabled.

VoiceIsid

Specifies the voice I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

VoiceCvid

Specifies the customer VLAN ID associated with the voice I-SID used by Auto-sense ports. Voice C-Vid is configured for tagged voice traffic only. You must configure the Auto-sense voice customer VLAN ID along with the Auto-sense voice I-SID.

DhcpDetection

Enables or disables the DHCP detection in Auto-sense mode. The default is enabled.

FaCameraIsid

Specifies the FA camera I-SID used by Auto-senseports.

FaProxyMgmtIsid

Specifies the FA proxy management I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaProxyMgmtCvid

Specifies the FA proxy management Client-VLAN ID (c-vid) used by Auto-sense ports.

FaProxyRingMgmtIsid

Specifies the FA proxy ring management I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaProxyRingMgmtCvid

Specifies the FA proxy management Client-VLAN ID (c-vid) used by Auto-sense ports.

FaProxyNoAuthIsid

Specifies the FA proxy no-auth I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaVirtualSwitchIsid

Specifies the FA virtual-switch I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaWapType1Isid

Specifies the FA WAP type-1 I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaCameraEapolStatus

Specifies the FA EAPoL status for Camera I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaEapolOVSStatus

Specifies the FA EAPoL status for OVS (Open-Virtual-Switch) I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaEapolWap1Status

Specifies the FA EAPoL status for Wap-type-1 I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

WaitInterval

Specifies the wait interval, in seconds, for Auto-sense to wait for a Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) neighbor to be detected in the Auto-sense wait state before transitioning to the Auto-sense onboarding state. This configuration is a global configuration that applies to all Auto-sense ports. The default value is 35.

MultihostMacMax

Specifies the maximum number of EAPoL and non-EAPoL authentication MAC addresses allowed on this port. The default value is 2.

MultihostEapMacMax

Specifies the maximum number of EAPoL authentication MAC addresses allowed on this port. Zero indicates that non-EAPoL authentication is disabled for this port. The default value is 2.

MultihostNonEapMacMax

Specifies the maximum number of non-EAPoL authentication MAC addresses allowed on this port. Zero indicates that non-EAPoL authentication is disabled for this port. The default value is 2.

IsisL1Metric

Manually configure a value for the Level 1 metric. A higher number represents a higher cost and the least preferred route. The default value for L1 metric is 10 for any link, despite the port speed.

IsisL1MetricAuto

Enable the Level 1 metric as automatic. By enabling Level 1 metric as auto, the network route is determined by summing the lowest value metrics, which are inversely proportional to port speed. This ensures that the fastest port speed determines the network route.

The default is disabled.

FaProxyRingMgmtIsid

Specifies the FA proxy ring management I-SID used by Auto-sense ports.

FaProxyRingMgmtCvid

Specifies the FA proxy management Client-VLAN ID (c-vid) used by Auto-sense ports.

Sd-Wan Area
Note: This field only displays on a switch with boundary-node abilities.

Specifies the IS-IS area, home or remote, where Auto-sense creates all ExtremeCloud SD-WAN learned tunnels. By default, Auto-sense creates SD-WAN logical interfaces in the home area.

You can also configure exceptions for specific tunnels. For more information, see Configure the IS-IS Area for a Specific Tunnel.

Sd-Wan Vrf
Note: Exception: This field only applies to models that support a single active VRF. For more information, see Fabric Engine and VOSS Feature Support Matrix.
Specifies the VRF name that Auto-sense uses for the SD-WAN configuration on models that support a single active VRF. On these models, Auto-sense cannot create the dynamic SD-WAN VRF if an IP configuration already exists.
