WEBVTT

1
00:00.000 --> 00:05.000
So now that we have our SD-WAN up and running in DCloud,

2
00:05.000 --> 00:09.000
let's spend a few moments here just getting used to

3
00:09.000 --> 00:14.000
and exploring the SD-WAN VManage interface.

4
00:14.000 --> 00:18.000
Now, in order to do that, we're going to do this particular section

5
00:18.000 --> 00:21.000
a little bit different than normal.

6
00:21.000 --> 00:25.000
I have several questions posed here that we're going to go through the

7
00:25.000 --> 00:25.000
interface

8
00:25.000 --> 00:27.000
and find the answers to.

9
00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
So they're really questions just to give us a reason or some place to go look
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

9
00:27.000 --> 00:32.000
So they're really questions just to give us a reason or some place to go look

10
00:32.000 --> 00:34.000
in the graphical interface.

11
00:34.000 --> 00:37.000
Now, one important thing to note,

12
00:37.000 --> 00:42.000
don't take the answers in this section as being 100% true.

13
00:42.000 --> 00:47.000
Keep in mind that this is Cisco's environment at the end of the day.

14
00:47.000 --> 00:51.000
They could change anything they want from the time of this recording

15
00:51.000 --> 00:54.000
till maybe the time you're viewing it.

16
00:54.000 --> 00:59.000
So the idea is to explore the interface and find where to get the answers,

17
00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
not necessarily to get the correct answers because again,
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

17
00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
not necessarily to get the correct answers because again,

18
01:03.000 --> 01:07.000
depending when you're looking at this and if Cisco's changed the environment,

19
01:07.000 --> 01:09.000
well, your answers may vary.

20
01:09.000 --> 01:14.000
But again, the main point is just learning where to find certain information

21
01:14.000 --> 01:16.000
and getting used to the interface.

22
01:16.000 --> 01:21.000
So let's jump in to VManage in our DCloud environment.

23
01:21.000 --> 01:26.000
So the first question we're going to ask is starting on the overview page,

24
01:26.000 --> 01:30.000
how many of each of the following are in the topology?
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

25
01:30.000 --> 01:35.000
So we're going to look for how many VManage, how many VBond, how many VSmart,

26
01:35.000 --> 01:38.000
and how many WAN Edge devices there are.

27
01:38.000 --> 01:42.000
So let's jump over to VManage and take a look.

28
01:42.000 --> 01:46.000
So again, right here on the monitor overview page,

29
01:46.000 --> 01:51.000
we can see the answer to our question.

30
01:51.000 --> 01:58.000
We have one VBond server, two VSmart controllers, one VManage server,

31
01:58.000 --> 02:01.000
and four WAN Edge devices.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

31
01:58.000 --> 02:01.000
and four WAN Edge devices.

32
02:01.000 --> 02:06.000
Now, this monitor overview page has a lot of really good information on it.

33
02:06.000 --> 02:12.000
We can also see things like how many times has this rebooted in the last 24

34
02:12.000 --> 02:12.000
hours.

35
02:12.000 --> 02:16.000
We can see that this is rebooted twice.

36
02:16.000 --> 02:22.000
No doubt to how Cisco reloads and reboots and configures the DCloud environment

37
02:22.000 --> 02:22.000
.

38
02:22.000 --> 02:28.000
If we scroll down a little bit, we can see things like our WAN Edge health.

39
02:28.000 --> 02:32.820
We see that those four WAN edges are currently being reported in good condition
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

39
02:28.000 --> 02:32.820
We see that those four WAN edges are currently being reported in good condition

40
02:32.820 --> 02:33.000
.

41
02:33.000 --> 02:38.400
We see that for our site BFD, remember that's bidirectional forwarding

42
02:38.400 --> 02:39.000
detection,

43
02:39.000 --> 02:46.680
but for our BFD connectivity, we have two sites that have full BFD connectivity

44
02:46.680 --> 02:47.000
.

45
02:47.000 --> 02:49.000
So that's good.

46
02:49.000 --> 02:53.000
We can also see things like our transport interface distribution.

47
02:53.000 --> 02:58.550
In this particular case, all 10 of our interfaces have received less than 10

48
02:58.550 --> 03:00.000
megabits per second of traffic.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

49
03:00.000 --> 03:04.000
This is a lab environment, so of course that would be expected.

50
03:04.000 --> 03:08.000
If we scroll down further, we can see our WAN Edge inventory.

51
03:08.000 --> 03:14.040
Once again, there are currently five WAN Edge devices, five are authorized, and

52
03:14.040 --> 03:17.000
currently four of them are deployed.

53
03:17.000 --> 03:19.000
We can also see our transport health.

54
03:19.000 --> 03:23.000
We can see what the current top applications are.

55
03:23.000 --> 03:28.000
If we scroll down a little bit further, we have our application aware routing.

56
03:28.000 --> 03:33.000
And of course, there's very little going on in this environment because again,
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

56
03:28.000 --> 03:33.000
And of course, there's very little going on in this environment because again,

57
03:33.000 --> 03:34.000
it's just a lab.

58
03:34.000 --> 03:38.270
But as you can see, a lot of good information as we get started here on our

59
03:38.270 --> 03:40.000
monitor overview page.

60
03:40.000 --> 03:47.270
Our next question is to determine the platform version, application version,

61
03:47.270 --> 03:53.000
the server, current time, and time zone of the SD WAN environment.

62
03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
So let's go take a look at that.

63
03:55.000 --> 04:00.920
The best place to get that information is if we go over here to the question
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

63
03:55.000 --> 04:00.920
The best place to get that information is if we go over here to the question

64
04:00.920 --> 04:03.000
mark and we hit about.

65
04:03.000 --> 04:08.000
We can see here the current platform version is 20.9.1.

66
04:08.000 --> 04:10.000
We can see the application version.

67
04:10.000 --> 04:13.000
We see the current server is VManage.

68
04:13.000 --> 04:19.000
We see the current timestamp and the time zone is set to UTC.

69
04:19.000 --> 04:23.080
So this is just a good way to get an overview about some of the basic

70
04:23.080 --> 04:29.000
information of the SD WAN environment, specifically the manage.

71
04:29.000 --> 04:35.930
Next, let's examine the WAN edge devices and list how many of what device types
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

71
04:29.000 --> 04:35.930
Next, let's examine the WAN edge devices and list how many of what device types

72
04:35.930 --> 04:39.000
are currently in the environment.

73
04:39.000 --> 04:42.000
So again, back over to VManage.

74
04:42.000 --> 04:47.730
There's a couple ways to get to this information, but possibly the easiest way

75
04:47.730 --> 04:53.000
is here under WAN edges, simply click on the number.

76
04:53.000 --> 04:59.000
This will take us to the detailed information about these particular devices.

77
04:59.000 --> 05:02.000
Down here at the bottom, of course, we have a table.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

77
04:59.000 --> 05:02.000
Down here at the bottom, of course, we have a table.

78
05:02.000 --> 05:09.650
So we can see in this particular environment, we have two V edge cloud routers

79
05:09.650 --> 05:13.000
and two CSR 1000 V's.

80
05:13.000 --> 05:18.000
So that answers our question of how many of which type of device we have.

81
05:18.000 --> 05:21.000
So let's take a look at what we're supposed to find next.

82
05:21.000 --> 05:27.000
The next question is how many tunnels are currently up in the environment.

83
05:27.000 --> 05:29.000
So let's go take a look.

84
05:29.000 --> 05:34.360
Again, like most things, there's several ways to get to the information, but a
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

84
05:29.000 --> 05:34.360
Again, like most things, there's several ways to get to the information, but a

85
05:34.360 --> 05:38.000
real easy way is simply up here under the top.

86
05:38.000 --> 05:40.000
Just click on tunnels.

87
05:40.000 --> 05:46.000
And we can see here that we currently have 16 SD WAN tunnels.

88
05:46.000 --> 05:49.000
Of course, we have this table here at the bottom.

89
05:49.000 --> 05:53.660
So if we were to scroll down, we can see some more detailed information on each

90
05:53.660 --> 05:55.000
of these tunnels.

91
05:55.000 --> 06:00.290
But the overall information was that there are 16 tunnels, which is what the
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

91
05:55.000 --> 06:00.290
But the overall information was that there are 16 tunnels, which is what the

92
06:00.290 --> 06:02.000
actual question was.

93
06:02.000 --> 06:07.960
The next question is simply what are the top three applications used on this

94
06:07.960 --> 06:09.000
network?

95
06:09.000 --> 06:14.000
Well, for this one, we can actually go right back to the monitor overview page.

96
06:14.000 --> 06:17.000
So just right from here, we can go back to overview.

97
06:17.000 --> 06:21.000
We can scroll down to the top applications.

98
06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
Click on view details.

99
06:24.000 --> 06:27.550
And here under the applications, we can see that the top three in this

100
06:27.550 --> 06:31.000
particular moment of time is MS update,
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

100
06:27.550 --> 06:31.000
particular moment of time is MS update,

101
06:31.000 --> 06:36.000
HTTP and binary over HTTP.

102
06:36.000 --> 06:38.000
Once again, it doesn't really matter what the answers are.

103
06:38.000 --> 06:43.000
Our main focus here is just getting to the information.

104
06:43.000 --> 06:49.800
And finally, we're supposed to choose one of the WAN edge devices and record

105
06:49.800 --> 06:56.000
its average CPU and memory utilization over the last hour.

106
06:56.000 --> 06:58.000
So let's go back to VManage.

107
06:58.000 --> 07:04.000
So starting off on the home page again, this time, let's just go to devices.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

107
06:58.000 --> 07:04.000
So starting off on the home page again, this time, let's just go to devices.

108
07:04.000 --> 07:13.530
And it says to pick any of them. Honestly, we can see the CPU load and memory

109
07:13.530 --> 07:16.390
utilization over here on the right, except that this question asks us

110
07:16.390 --> 07:19.000
specifically to list it for the last hour.

111
07:19.000 --> 07:25.000
So let's pick one of our devices. We'll just pick our V edge one router.

112
07:25.000 --> 07:30.000
Then on this page, we'll scroll down a little bit to CPU and memory.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

113
07:30.000 --> 07:35.000
And then over here on the chart, we'll choose one hour.

114
07:35.000 --> 07:39.000
This will give us the information over the last hour.

115
07:39.000 --> 07:43.180
So that was the question and we can see that in this example, of course, yours

116
07:43.180 --> 07:50.000
will vary, but our average CPU for the last hour has been 5.24%.

117
07:50.000 --> 07:55.000
And our average memory utilization has been 13%.

118
07:55.000 --> 08:01.000
So in this video, we spent just a few minutes answering some specific questions
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

118
07:55.000 --> 08:01.000
So in this video, we spent just a few minutes answering some specific questions

119
08:01.000 --> 08:06.760
from our VManage interface, really, just to give us a reason and a place to go

120
08:06.760 --> 08:10.000
to explore different things in VManage.

121
08:10.000 --> 08:13.000
Now again, this was just a very quick overview.

122
08:13.000 --> 08:18.610
If you're not very familiar with VManage, this would be a really good time

123
08:18.610 --> 08:22.610
while you already have the cloud up and running to spend some time getting more

124
08:22.610 --> 08:24.000
familiar with the CPU.

125
08:24.000 --> 08:28.000
So we're also familiar with the VManage interface.

126
08:28.000 --> 08:33.360
Now that we've gotten an introduction to the VManage interface, let's now spend
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

126
08:28.000 --> 08:33.360
Now that we've gotten an introduction to the VManage interface, let's now spend

127
08:33.360 --> 08:38.000
some time talking about the different ways that we can connect SDWAN to our

128
08:38.000 --> 08:40.000
various cloud providers.
