SNMP Polling for ARP Table

Oracle SD-WAN Edge Software R4.1 supports retrieval of ARP entries and associated statistics via SNMP polling. Polling will retrieve the data for existing ARP table entries, along with associated interfaces and statistics for each entry. The data for this SNMP entry is updated once a minute on the Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance.

For more data on this specific MIB enhancement please review the Oracle MIB and from the Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance web console under Integrate -> Download/View Oracle MIB.

Appliance Settings from Aware

In conjunction with Oracle SD-WAN Aware R1.1, Oracle SD-WAN Edge Software R4.1 supports the ability to configure appliance settings from Oracle SD-WAN Aware. Appliance settings include options associated with DNS, NTP, Time Zone, User Authentication, FTP server configuration, Notification settings,

Netflow, etc. These options are not governed by the Oracle SD-WAN Edge Configuration Editor. With Oracle SD-WAN, Aware R1.1, these settings can now be pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware to any user-selected group of Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliances in the network. Additionally, templates of appliance settings can be created, edited, and saved on Oracle SD-WAN Aware to streamline future Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance installs.

From a deployment perspective, the following should be considered:

Settings defined locally will override settings that were previously pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware
Settings pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware will override settings that were previously defined locally
Settings pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware will take effect once received on the target Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance(s)
Settings pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware are received on the target Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance(s) via the management interface
Settings can only be pushed from Oracle SD-WAN Aware to those Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliances that are reachable
(i.e. displayed on the Manage -> Discovery screen)
Blank settings in a template will not be pushed to the Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance(s)

In the Oracle SD-WAN Aware web console, under Manage -> Appliance Settings:

Select "New" to create a new Appliance Settings template
For each section, select "Include in File" to edit the options in that section
Once all desired options have been set, select "Save" to save the template
Select "Export" to export the template to the desired Oracle SD-WAN Edge Appliance(s)
