Features Introduced in Prisma SD-WAN Release 5.5.1
Learn about the new features and enhancements for Prisma
SD-WAN Release 5.5.1.
New Feature/Enhancement | Description |
---|---|
Event Policy Management
|
Use Event Policies to manage
system-generated alerts and alarms in your network for improved
network visibility and quicker troubleshooting. You can leverage
event policy rules to suppress or escalate alarms that arise during
a scheduled time period.
You can also change the default priority of system-generated alarms
to a priority level that is more aligned with your operational
requirements.
You can apply event policy rules to different network resources such
as sites, devices, interfaces, circuits, and BGP peers and take
action on specific event codes.
|
Collection and Export of Telemetry with IPFIX
| For network and application visibility, you can
configure branch ION devices to export link quality, system
metadata, and flow information to an external collector using
standards-based IPFIX with custom
templates. Device Software Version Required: 5.5.1 and
later |
Time Series for Circuit Statistics
|
For accurate circuit metering and site capacity planning, you can now
use circuit-level statistics
to identify the bandwidth usage for circuits on ActivityNetwork Quick FiltersCircuits.
|
Time Series for Interface Statistics
|
To gain visibility of LAN traffic and identify potential errors or
dropped packets on an interface, use ActivitySystem Quick FiltersInterfaces.
|
Next-Hop Reachability Probe
| If you have configured static routes on the ION
device, you can now enable the next-hop reachability
probe to verify that the destination IP address or prefix
is reachable using ICMP probes. When enabled, if the next hop is
unreachable, the ION device forwards traffic to the destination
prefix using alternate paths. Device Software Version
Required: 5.5.1 and later |
Support for Secondary IP Address
| You can now configure secondary IP addresses on
Layer 3 LAN interfaces to provide multiple logical subnets for an
interface. Device Software Version Required: 5.5.1 and
later |
Static ARP for LAN Interfaces
| You can now specify a static ARP entry on a LAN
interface which enables you to create a static MAC address to IP
address mapping. Device Software Version Required: 5.5.1 and
later |
Enhanced Identification of Site Connectivity Events
|
The Prisma SD-WAN controller generates two new alarms for site
connectivity issues.
The SITE_CONNECTIVITY_DOWN alarm is generated when the site
loses connectivity with the controller and all the remote branches
or data centers.
The controller clears this alarm if either the connectivity is
re-established or if at least one of the VPNs is up.
SITE_CONNECTIVITY_DEGRADED alarm is generated when any one of
the following conditions exist:
The controller clears this alarm when all the WAN paths are up.
|
Enhanced Alarms
|
The DEVICEHW_INTERFACE_DOWN alarm is enhanced
for logical interface level issues.
When a physical interface goes down, all alarms are suppressed for
the logical interfaces associated with that physical interface. The
controller clears the alarm only when the parent interface is up but
does not suppress the interface down alarm if any one of the child
interfaces is down.
The secure fabric link alarms,
NETWORK_SECUREFABRICLINK_DEGRADED and
NETWORK_SECUREFABRICLINK_DOWN are
enhanced to suppress the related VPN alarms.
|
WAN Reachability for Branch High Availability Deployments
| To detect connectivity issues over a WAN circuit and
prevent middle mile failures, you can now track the Layer 3
reachability of WAN circuits. In the event of a middle mile failure,
when tracking WAN availability,
the ION device will reduce the HA priority of the active device. This configuration is only recommended for specific
topologies, refer to the Branch HA Topologies
Guide.
|
Prisma SD-WAN Device and Tenant Management
|
MSP tenants can now take stock and move devices they own between
child tenants that they manage using the Device Manager web
interface.
|
Additions to Application Definitions
| The following new system application definitions are
available on Prisma SD-WAN.
