SNMPv2 Route Polling Configuration
The first step is to complete the configuration section of the web page. First, define the router and community string under the configurations section of the page. The configuration section allows the user to perform the following:
- Add a router to poll
- Include the Community string
- Purge routes if the router is unreachable
- Polling time frame
- If Propagate Routes is set to YES, add routes to Oracle SD-WAN Edge route table
- Add multiple routes if required
The router that is typically added would be the LAN-side router. Subnets learned from this router would typically be local routes from a Oracle appliance perspective. The user must know which subnets are local subnets and which subnets are Intranet or Internet routes.
Include/Exclude rules
The user must then create a rule set which defines rules that would either include routes or exclude routes from the APNA route table. Once the rule is defined the user would hit the apply button to filter the corresponding routes and add them to the include route table. These routes could then be propagated to the Oracle SD-WAN Edge routing table, if desired. To propagate the routes, the user would have to have the option “Propagated routes” option set to “yes”. Defining include routes requires knowledge of the network infrastructure. Any route included must be assigned to the correct service for proper Oracle SD-WAN Edge routing.
When adding routes to include in the Oracle SD-WAN Edge routing table, there is significance to the order of the defined rule. The rules are processed in a top-down method. With that in mind, the user must be aware of the defined rules for including/excluding routes. The preferred procedure would be to have more general rules defined first with more specific rules defined later in the rules list.
Included Routes
The Included Routes section displays the included routes. These are routes that will be propagated across the Oracle SD-WAN Edge from the local appliance. The local appliance will propagate these routes to all other appliances with which it maintains a conduit. These routes are then reachable from the conduit.
