What is SDWAN?
SDWAN profiles are configurations that optimize the management of network traffic across multiple WAN connections. They allow administrators to set parameters for PING, TCP, UDP, and bandwidth management to enhance performance and reliability. By using profiles, organizations can ensure efficient traffic routing and improve overall connectivity for applications.
Add New Profile
The "Add New Profile" section allows administrators to create and configure new SDWAN profiles for optimized network management. These profiles enable better control over traffic distribution and performance across different WAN connections.
- Name: This field requires a descriptive name for the new SDWAN profile. A clear name helps in identifying the profile's purpose and its associated settings.
- PING Prop (Disable/Enable): This option allows administrators to enable or disable the PING (Packet Internet Groper) properties for the profile. Enabling PING properties helps monitor the availability and latency of WAN links, ensuring reliable connectivity.
- TCP Prop (Disable/Enable): This setting controls whether TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) properties are active in the profile. Enabling TCP properties allows for optimized handling of TCP traffic, enhancing reliability and performance.
- UDP Prop (Disable/Enable): Similar to TCP properties, this option allows administrators to enable or disable UDP (User Datagram Protocol) properties. Enabling UDP properties is crucial for applications that require low latency, such as VoIP or video streaming.
- Bandwidth Prop (Disable/Enable): This setting allows the management of bandwidth properties within the profile. Enabling bandwidth properties helps prioritize traffic based on the organization's needs and available resources.
- Device: This field specifies the device associated with the profile, such as LAN1 (enp3s0). Identifying the device helps in applying the profile settings correctly to the intended interface.
- Gateway: This field allows administrators to enter the IP address of the gateway, for example, 192.168.100.1. Specifying the gateway is essential for routing traffic appropriately through the SDWAN configuration.
