2 New Features

The Oracle SD-WAN Edge 9.1 release supports the following new features and enhancements.

Out of Band ZTP

Out of Band Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) is a serverless, secure way to provision new SD-WAN Edge devices in your network. This method, through a USB drive plugged into the appliance or a mapped drive created on VT800 for virtual appliances, is used to provision clients without any initial configuration upon start up.

Out of Band ZTP is only available with systems that are already running SD-WAN Edge 9.1 and later. If your system is still on SD-WAN Edge 9.0 or earlier, or your system shipped prior to the 9.1 release and has never been upgraded, Out of Band ZTP will not work until you upgrade.

Virtual Appliance on COTS

SD-WAN Edge can now be run on Intel Atom based platforms. With the update, the following changes have been made.
  • The default image size has been reduced to 40GB, for a client node without the WANOp feature.
  • The default image size has been reduced to 100GB, for a NCN node without WANOp feature.

    Note:

    For WANOp functionality you will need to increase the local volume by at least 80 GB . See "Disk Image and Deployment Size" in the Virtual Appliance Installation Guide for more information.

Up to 2.5 Gbps Performance on KVM-based Platforms

SD-WAN Edge, when running on appropriate Intel Xeon hardware, can support up to 2.5 Gbps throughput.

A new KVM Optimization appendix has been added to the Virtual Appliance guide.

Keyboard Shortcuts

A list of new keyboard shortcuts has been added as an appendix to the Features Guide.
