Adding Path-Based Steering Profiles
You can use the Add Path Profile page to add a new path-based steering profile, and specify the traffic type profile, path preference, and advanced configuration for the profile.
To add a path-based steering profile:
- Select Configuration > Path-Based Steering Profiles.
The Path-Based Steering Profiles page appears.
- Click the add (+) icon.
The Add Path Profile page appears.
- Enter the path-based
steering profile information according to the guidelines
provided in Table 1.
Note Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
- Click OK .
You are returned to the Path-Based Steering Profiles page and a confirmation message indicating that the path-based steering profile was added is displayed. The page refreshes to display the path-based steering profile that you added.
Note After you add a path-based steering profile, you must add an SD-WAN policy intent that references the path-based steering profile in order to enable site-to-site traffic.
Table 1: Fields on the Add Path Profile page
Field | Guidelines |
---|---|
Name | Enter a unique string that can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-); the maximum length is 15 characters. |
Traffic Type Profile | Choose a traffic type profile to apply the class-of-service configuration and priority to the SLA profile. You can select a traffic type profile only when it is in the Enabled state. |
Path Preference | Select the preferred WAN link type to associate with the SLA profile. The options are MPLS, and Internet. |
Advanced Configuration | |
Maximum Upstream Rate | Enter the maximum upstream rate (in Kbps) for all applications associated with the SLA profile. Range: 64 through 10,485,760 Kbps |
Maximum Upstream Burst Size | Enter the maximum burst size (in bytes). Range: 1 through 1,342,177,280 bytes |
Maximum Downstream Rate | Enter the maximum downstream rate (in Kbps) for all applications associated with the SLA profile. Range: 64 through 10,485,760 Kbps |
Maximum Downstream Burst Size | Enter the maximum burst size (in bytes). Range: 1 through 1,342,177,280 bytes |
Loss Priority | Select a loss priority based on which packets can be dropped or retained when network congestion occurs. The chances of a packet getting dropped is the highest when the loss priority is set to High. Other available values are Medium High, Medium Low, and Low. |
