About the Path-Based Steering Profiles Page

To access this page, select Configuration > Path-Based Steering Profiles in the Administration Portal.

In path-based steering profile, you can define the path (MPLS or Internet) that must be used for a given traffic type profile. You cannot configure SLA parameters or path failover criteria for a path-based steering profile. The traffic type profile must be in enabled state in order to be used in any profile.

You can use the Path-Based Steering Profiles page to view information about the path-based steering profiles for all tenants.

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks from this page:

  • View details of path-based steering profiles for all tenants.

  • Add path-based steering profiles for all tenants. See Adding Path-Based Steering Profiles.

  • Edit or delete a path-based steering profiles. See Editing and Deleting Path-Based Steering Profiles.

  • Show or hide columns that contain information about path-based steering profiles—Click the Show Hide columns icon in the top right corner of the page and select columns that you want to view on the page.

  • Search for path-based steering profiles using keywords. Click the search icon. Enter partial text or full text of the keyword in the search bar and press Enter. The search results are displayed.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Path Preference

The preferred path for the SLA profile. The available options are:

  • MPLS

  • Internet

Path-Based Steering Profiles Page (Path Profiles List tab)

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Created by

The name of the user who created the path profile.

Path-Based Steering Profiles Page (Path Profiles List tab)

Priority

Priority of the path-based steering profile. A value zero (0) indicates lower priority and one (1) indicates highest priority.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Packet Loss

Target packet loss for the SLA profile.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

RTT

Target round-trip time (RTT) for the SLA profile.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Jitter

Target jitter for the SLA profile.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

SLA Probe Match

Indicates whether the profile requires the SLA probe to match all SLA criteria (All) or not (Any) .

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Session-sampling %

Indicates the matching percentage of sessions for which you want to run the passive probes.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

SLA Violation Counts

Indicates the number of SLA violations after which you want CSO to switch paths.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Sampling Period

The sampling period, in milliseconds, for which the path-based steering profile violations are counted.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Switch Cool-off Period

The waiting period, in milliseconds, only after which you want the link switch to happen if an active link comes back online. This parameter helps prevent frequent switching of traffic between active and backup links.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Path Failover Criteria

Indicates the path failover criteria for link switching. Path failover occurs when any (Any)of the path-based steering profile parameters is violated or when all (All) the path-based steering profile parameters are violated.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Maximum Upstream Rate

The maximum upstream rate (in Kbps) for all applications associated with the path-based steering profile.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Maximum Upstream Burst Size

The maximum upstream burst size (in bytes).

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Maximum Downstream Rate

The maximum downstream rate (in Kbps) for all applications associated with the path-based-steering profile.

Detail for Path-Profile-Name pane

Maximum Downstream Burst Size

The maximum downstream burst size (in bytes).
