Configure Internet & MPLS Router
Using dual transport links in SD-WAN offers several benefits, including:
1. Redundancy and High Availability
2. Load Balancing
3. Cost Efficiency
4. Traffic Segmentation
SD-WAN can flexibly utilize all its transport links. For example, in traffic segmentation, we can choose specific paths for critical applications requiring security and low latency or select other paths for non-critical/cloud access.
Configuration:
- PE_Router
- MPLS Backbone
- Internet Router
Practice-Verified Commands:
1. Basic SD-WAN Configuration:
config t vpn 0 interface GigabitEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 no shutdown exit
2. MPLS Configuration:
mpls ldp router-id Loopback0 force mpls label protocol ldp interface GigabitEthernet0/1 mpls ip exit
3. Traffic Segmentation:
policy-map SD-WAN-TRAFFIC class VOICE priority percent 20 class VIDEO bandwidth percent 30 class DATA bandwidth percent 50 exit
4. Load Balancing:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2 load-interval 30 exit
5. Redundancy Setup:
track 1 ip sla 1 reachability interface GigabitEthernet0/0 standby 1 ip 192.168.1.254 standby 1 priority 110 standby 1 preempt exit
What Undercode Say
Cisco SD-WAN is a powerful tool for modern network management, offering flexibility, security, and efficiency. By leveraging dual transport links, organizations can achieve redundancy, load balancing, and cost savings. The configuration process involves setting up PE routers, MPLS backbones, and internet routers, with traffic segmentation ensuring optimal performance for critical applications.
For further exploration, consider these Linux and Windows commands to enhance your SD-WAN setup:
– Linux:
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 via 192.168.2.1 traceroute 192.168.1.1 netstat -r
– Windows:
[cmd]
route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
tracert 192.168.1.1
netstat -r
[/cmd]
