Scenario 1:
A network administrator is tasked! with enabling SO-WAN at three branch locations. A topology has been provided for reference. For each site, the administrator is having issues bringing edges online, as another administrator has gone ahead and created a configuration ahead of time. The organization has several branch sites- One is an Internet-only site and two are Hybrid locations with both internet and MPLS: The last location is MPLS only. There are hub data center locations in this environment as well. Please refer to the topology.
Exhibit.
An administrator is attempting to activate two Edge devices at the Chicago branch location. The local technician reports that the Edge devices are not coming online. The Edge devices have been plugged in, powered on, and connected to the correct circuits with an Enhanced HA setup.
What should the local technician check first when troubleshooting the issue?
Scenario 3:
After resolving numerous connectivity issues throughout the various branch sites, connectivity between applications and users is finally present. The network administrator is informed that during certain tests, applications are not performing as they are expected to. Users report that call quality has not fully improved and that some of their calls either drop or have poor voice quality where the conversation is breaking up. Other users are noticing that file transfers are slower than expect. A group of users from a few sites have reported slowness in accessing internal and external applications.
Exhibit.
Users at the Dallas Branch are complaining that downloads/uploads from Office365 are slow. Working in Teams has been providing slow responses. The Internet circuit is 100Mbps while the MPLS Circuit is 45Mbps. Upon troubleshooting, the network administrator has noticed the traffic is Backhauling through the Seattle hub for all internet traffic.
How should the network administrator resolve the issue?
Scenario 2:
After completing the branch activation activities for all required branches, the network administrator attempts to test connectivity between the various branches and between the hubs and branches. The administrator notices a lack of connectivity despite being certain that configurations have been complete. The administrator also observed that several users are reporting intermittent connectivity to some of the applications they are accessing. Other users are reporting no access to these applications. Other users at some of the branches claim they cannot get to certain public resources. The administrator wants to ensure that all sites can talk to each other and all resources are accessible.
Exhibit.
Where can the network administrator check to see what routes are present on the London-site Edge?
Scenario 3:
After resolving numerous connectivity issues throughout the various branch sites, connectivity between applications and users is finally present. The network administrator is informed that during certain tests, applications are not performing as they are expected lo. Users report that call quality has not fully improved and that some of their calls either drop or have poor voice quality where the conversation is breaking up. Other users are noticing that file transfers are slower than expect. A group of users from a few sites have reported slowness in accessing internal and external applications.
Exhibit.
Users are complaining that web pages to certain web sites are very slow to load and at times unresponsive. The network administrator has verified that the traffic is going correctly out the underlay.
What should the administrator check next?
Scenario 3:
After resolving numerous connectivity issues throughout the various branch sites, connectivity between applications and users is finally present. The network administrator is informed that during certain tests, applications are not performing as they are expected to. Users report that call quality has not fully improved and that some of their calls either drop or have poor voice quality where the conversation is breaking up. Other users are noticing that file transfers are slower than expect. A group of users from a few sites have reported slowness in accessing internal and external applications.
Exhibit.
A network administrator decides to deploy a local Checkpoint VNF appliance on the Edge in London to cut back on unnecessary traffic towards the NY hub location.
The Checkpoint VNF and associated security services were successfully deployed at the London Branch. Users are now are complaining that Webpages are extremely slow to load, just like before.
What should the administrator do?
