Add Citrix SD-WAN instances 编辑

Configure Citrix ADM as the AppFlow collector on the Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliance to add these instances in Citrix ADM. The Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances are registered as managed instances on Citrix ADM, and their AppFlow records are collected. For a Citrix SD-WAN PE appliance, you can enable either the TCP only for HDX template or the HDX template. The TCP only for HDX template provides multi-hop data. The HDX template provides HDX data, it should be enabled on the Data Center appliance only.

You can configure Citrix ADM as an AppFlow collector on the individual SD-WAN SE/PE/AE appliance, or you can configure Citrix ADM as the AppFlow collector using SD-WAN Center and export the configuration to the appliances managed by it.

To configure Citrix ADM as an AppFlow collector on an Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE/AE appliance:

1. In the SD-WAN SE/PE/AE web interface, navigate to Configuration > AppFlow/IPFIX

2. Choose Enable.

   

3. In the Data Update Interval field, specify the time interval, in minutes, at which the AppFlow reports are exported to AppFlow collector.

   Note

   If Citrix ADM is the AppFlow collector, the data update interval should be 1 minute.  

4. Do one of the following:

   • Choose HDX, to send HDX insight data to the AppFlow collector.  This should be enabled on the branch appliances.
   • Choose TCP only for HDX, to send multi-hop data to the AppFlow collector.

   Note

   HDX template option is available for Citrix SD-WAN PE appliance only, it should be enabled on the Data Center appliance

5. In the IP Address field, type the IP Address of the external AppFlow collector system (Citrix ADM Server).

6. In the Port field, type the port number on which the external AppFlow collector system listens. The default value is 4739.

7. Choose the Citrix ADM check box, to specify that Citrix ADM is the AppFlow collector.

   Note

   • Citrix ADM currently does not support IPFIX collection.

   • You can add up to four AppFlow collectors. Either Citrix ADM or any AppFlow collector that supports the IPFIX protocol.

8. Enter the credentials for the Citrix ADM server

9. Click Apply Settings.

The Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances are discovered and listed on Citrix ADM. The Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances send the analytics data to Citrix ADM. For more information, see AppFlow and IPFIX.

To configure Citrix ADM as an AppFlow collector by using Citrix SD-WAN Center:

1. In Citrix SD-WAN Center management UI, navigate to Configuration > Appliance Settings.  

2. Navigate to the AppFlow / IPFIX section and choose Include in File.

3. Select Enable IPFIX / AppFlow Collection.

   

4. In the Data Update Interval field, specify the time interval, in minutes, at which the AppFlow reports are exported to the AppFlow collector.

   Note

   If Citrix ADM is the AppFlow collector, the data update interval should be 1 minute.

5. Do one of the following:

   • Choose HDX, to send HDX insight data to the AppFlow collector.
   • Choose TCP for HDX, to send multi-hop insight data to the AppFlow collector. This should be enabled on the branch appliances.

   Note

   HDX template option is available for Citrix SD-WAN PE appliance only, it should be enabled on the Data Center appliance.

6. In the IPFIX / AppFlow Collector field, type the IP Address of the external AppFlow collector system (Citrix ADM Server).

7. In the Port field, type the port number on which the external AppFlow collector system listens. The default value is 4739.

8. Choose the Citrix ADM check box to specify that Citrix ADM is the AppFlow collector.

9. Enter the credentials for the Citrix ADM server.

   Note

   You can add up to four AppFlow collectors. Either Citrix ADM or any AppFlow collector that supports the IPFIX protocol.

10.  Save and Export the configuration to the managed appliances.

    For more information, see How to Configure and Export Appliance Settings to Managed Appliances.

The Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances are discovered and listed by Citrix ADM. The Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances are discovered and listed in Citrix ADM. To view the discovered Citrix SD-WAN SE/PE appliances, in the Citrix ADM web interface, navigate to Networks > Instances > Citrix SD-WAN and select SD-WAN SE/PE/AE.

You can view the IP address, name, current state, software edition, and version of the discovered appliances. You can also see if the appliance is a master controller node (MCN) or not.

You can perform the following actions:

• View and remove instance profiles.  
• Remove instances from Citrix ADM.
• Rediscover instances.

For a Citrix SD-WAN PE appliance, you can view HDX data records or multi-hop data, depending on the AppFlow configuration. A Citrix SD-WAN SE appliance provides multi-hop data only. For more information see, Viewing HDX Insight Reports and Metrics and Viewing Citrix SD-WAN Analytics Data for Multi-hop Deployment.
