Default Configuration Parameter Change

In the Oracle SD-WAN Edge Software Release 3.1 there has been a change to a default configuration parameter. In previous software releases the Oracle SD-WAN Edge configuration editor/compiler would add in a bridge pair when configured for Fail-to-Wire (FTW) or provide a warning message that no bridge pair had been configured. Typically, the user would then add in the bridge pair definition if required. This would lead to a configuration file having the following entry for a bridge pair (as an example):

add bridge_pair device_one=1 device_two=2

This allows the Oracle appliance to bridge traffic between ports 1 and port 2, which also creates a FTW pair. The change is that now the system will NOT automatically add into the configuration file the above bridge commands. Instead the following warning will be provided to the user during validation of creating a configuration file:

* ---> WARNING: EC329: in define site 'Client---Test' ---> add appliance ---> add interface_group: Interfaces in this interface group are not part of a bridge pair. Devices connected to these interfaces will not be reachable without the aid of an external device.

To resolve the configuration warning the user should identify the site with the configuration issue and perform one of the following:

• Add in the bridge pair
• Enable Source MAC Learning

If the issue is not resolved, traffic that is considered pass--‐ through will not flow between port 1 and port 2. This may be required behavior, which is the reason for the default configuration change.

When upgrading from a previous release the user should not receive these warnings, but there are always exceptions. If the user does receive the warning message and has questions please contact support for clarifications on the message, configuration assistance and help in resolving the warning message.
