Introduction
• This session gives an overview of the Cisco Software-
Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution on Cisco IOS XE
routers.
• It is a good introduction for those who want to run
SD-WAN on Cisco Routers.
• This session also talks about the key building blocks of
the SD-WAN solution on Cisco IOS XE routers
• In the latter part, we will be discussing on how the
existing Viptela SD-WAN framework works and how
vManage acts as the central Network Management
System (NMS) through which you can monitor and
configure your network.
What and Why of
SDWAN
What is SD-WAN
A software defined approach to manage Wide
Area Network Approach:
 Network data plane and control
Software-defined WAN is a new plane disaggregation
 Flavour of API-based open
approach to network connectivity networking for better interoperability
 centralized controllers to manage
Cisco SD-WAN provides unparalleled

visibility across your WAN, optimal
connectivity for end users, and the most
comprehensive security platform to
protect your network
SDWAN Fabric
Cisco SD-WAN provides:

 Transport independence - automates
application flexibility All done through a single
 Network services - Rich networking and dashboard called vManage
security services
 Endpoint flexibility - can simplify connectivity
in Network
Why Cisco SD-WAN?
Having large Cisco IOS XE installed base
and are looking at SD-WAN to address the
following needs ?
 Reduce costs
 Speed up operation
 Stay Secure
 Provide a better user experience
 Integrate the latest cloud technologies
And for Network administrators ?

 can use bandwidth more efficiently
 can help ensure the highest level of performance for
critical applications without sacrificing security or data
privacy.
Few Benefits. . .
 Cisco covers thousands of customers with end-to-end
protection.
 With a few clicks in the Cisco vManage console, you can
instantly protect your entire network with security features
 Cisco SD-WAN can transform your Cisco routers into
advanced, multi-layered security devices
 Predictable application experience with vAnalytics engine

 visibility necessary to isolate issues in the WAN
 End-to-end visibility into applications and infrastructure
across the entire SD-WAN fabric
 Real-time information
 Assistance planning application provisioning, bandwidth
increases, and branch expansions
 Application quality of service (QoS) categorization and
policy changes for predictable performance

Virtual Router on ENCS 5000 series
A simple example of a virtual branch running a virtual router and a virtual firewall on ENCS
 NFVIS is a Linux/KVM-based operating system running on

ENCS.
 It is optimized for Virtual Network Functions (VNF)
deployments supporting:
 Zero-touch deployment: Automatic connection to PnP,
easy day-0 provisioning
 VNF monitoring
 Lifecycle management
 Service chaining
 Open API: Programmable API for service orchestration and
REST and NETCONF API
 Monitoring: NETCONF notifications, host and VM statistics,
packet capture.
 ISRv is a virtual-form-factor Cisco IOS XE based router that supports

the same SD-WAN functionalities as physical Cisco IOS XE routers
such as the 4000 Series ISRs.
 All use cases that are valid for physical routers are also applicable to
virtual routers - Workflow, configuration, and features are exactly the
same

Integration
Bring Up Scenario – Analogy 
Bring up the Controllers
Controllers can be deployed on VMware ESXi with OVA
files or on AWS, Azure Cloud
Integrating Controllers
 Add vBond and vSmart controllers on the vManage.
 Generate CSRs.
 Sign CSRs and upload certificates.
 Configuretunnel interfaces and establish control WAN Edge
connections
Adding controllers to vManage
Generating the CSR
Viewing & Transferring the CSR
Installing signed
certificate
Bring up Sequence
 The vManage NMS software starts on a server in
the data center.
 The vBond orchestrator starts on a server in the
DMZ.
Wan-Edge  The vSmart controller starts on a server in the data
center.
 The vManage NMS and the vBond orchestrator
authenticate each other, the vManage NMS and
the vSmart controller authenticate each other, and
the vSmart controller and the vBond orchestrator
authenticate each other.
 The vManage NMS sends configurations to the
vSmart and vBond devices.
 The Wan-Edge routers start in the network.
 The Wan-Edge routers authenticate themselves
with the vBond orchestrator.
with the vManage NMS.
with the vSmart controller.
 The vManage NMS sends configurations to the
Wan-Edge routers.
Cisco Plug and Play (PNP)
On Prem vBond ZTP vManage
Smart / Virtual Account vBond Controller should PNP data push to ZTP Upload the provisioning
should be created. be defined in PNP file into vManage
Make note of the vBond IP address to be PnP will automatically Download the serial
organization name used added in PNP send the data with the number file, also known
to bring up the setup vBond controller as the provisioning file
and domain name information, the on the PnP portal
organization name,
network ID, and
associated serial
numbers to ZTP
And Enter the info in the Once the vBond Upload the file in
PNP Controller is added, vManage (version 18.x
manually associate the and above) - Devices
device to the controller will then be available on
vManage
Cisco - Plug and Play Process - Overview
 Cisco IOS XE router contacts PnP Connect via
devicehelper.cisco.com, to get SD-WAN related
information
 Cisco IOS XE router contacts vBond over a secure tunnel
 After authentication, vBond sends the vManage IP and
vSmart IP address to the Cisco IOS XE router.
 vManage sends the full configuration to the Cisco IOS XE
router.
 Cisco IOS XE router contacts vSmart over a secure tunnel;
after authentication, it will join the SD-WAN fabric.
Onsite Bootstrap Process - Overview
 Supported on SD-WAN Cisco IOS XE only
#ISR4000  Useful where DHCP is not enabled on the transport interface
