CATALYST SD-WAN CONVERSION TOOL
Verify
SD-WAN Conversion Tool displays the individual features and interface properties extracted from the user provided IOS XE config by performing a validation process on it to highlight supported and unsupported config to the user. Any unsupported configs are not included in the IOS XE to SD-WAN conversion process.
Modify
The tool provides users the options to add or remove tunnel interfaces and other system properties for SD-WAN specific config before the actual conversion process. It modifies the config based on the values provided by the user in order to prepare it for conversion from IOS XE to SD-WAN config.
Convert
The tool converts the IOS XE config to vManage compatible SD-WAN configuration using Cisco NSO NEDs and Service Package. The conversion service returns the converted SD-WAN config in XML format, which is consumed by the feature template generator to export the config to a vManage device.
Export
The tool generates feature templates using the converted SD-WAN config, creates these templates in user selected vManage controller, and attaches them to a device template for consumption from vManage UI. The credentials provided for specific vManage nodes can be saved by the user for subsequent workflows in the future.
