Cisco SD-WAN Network Wide Path Insight - Validating Cloud onRamp for SaaS Optimization
Learn how Network Wide Path Insight (NWPI) helps validate Cisco SD-WAN Cloud onRamp for SaaS optimization and Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) First Packet Match by collecting packet traces and flow information from multiple Cisco SD-WAN routers into a single screen of insights.
Cisco SD-WAN provides several built-in tools for network administrators. One of those tools is Network Wide Path Insight (NWPI). In the past, network operators would need to run packet captures, CLI commands and separate troubleshooting utilities to validate performance and optimization of their WAN solution. Now, with Network Wide Path Insight, operators can trace real traffic, identify specific flows, and follow the processes and policies on a Cisco SD-WAN router in just a matter of minutes on single vManage UI using real traffic without specialized skills or multiple screens.
