Provides complete IPv4 and IPv6 CLI configuration examples for external AppQoE service nodes and service controllers.

Objective

These examples show complete CLI configurations for external service nodes and service controllers using IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Configure an External Service Node

Here's the complete configuration example for creating service nodes using IPv4 addresses:

 sdwan appqoe tcpopt enable
  no sslproxy enable
  !

 service-insertion service-node-group appqoe SNG-APPQOE

  device-role service-node
  service-node 192.168.2.2 
  !
 
 interface VirtualPortGroup1
  ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
  service-insertion appqoe
  !

  interface GigabitEthernet 2
   description SN_LAN_Interface in VPN0 
   ip address 192.0.2.1 255.255.255.0
   !

 platform resource service-plane-heavy

 system
  system-ip 198.51.100.1
  site-id 78200
 !

Here's the complete configuration example for creating service nodes using IPv6 addresses:

 sdwan appqoe tcpopt enable
  no sslproxy enable
  !

interface VirtualPortGroup2
 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
 ipv6 address FDF8::1/126
 service-insertion appqoe

service-insertion service-node-group appqoe SNG-APPQOE
 device-role service-node
 service-node 192.168.2.2
! 
interface GigabitEthernet2  
 ip address 172.16.200.35 255.255.255.0
 ipv6 address 2001:AA8:1234:200::35/64

Configure a Service Controller

Here's a complete configuration example for creating service controllers using IPv4 addresses:

interface Loopback 65550
 description AppQoE_Controller_Loopback
 vrf forwarding 200
 ip address 198.51.100.1 255.255.255.255
 !

 !

service-insertion service-node-group appqoe SNG-APPQOE
 service-node 192.0.2.2
 service-node 192.0.2.3
 service-node 192.0.2.4
 service-node 192.0.2.5
 !

service-insertion service-context appqoe/1

Here's a complete configuration example for creating service controllers using IPv6 addresses:

interface GigabitEthernet3   
 vrf forwarding 2
 ip address 172.16.200.32 255.255.255.0
 ipv6 address 2001:AA8:1234:200::32/64
