## Discovering Silver Peak SD-WAN devices

To add and monitor your Silver Peak SD-WAN devices in OpManager:

- Navigate to **Settings** → **Discovery** → **Add SD-WAN**.
- From the list, select the Silver Peak SD-WAN model.
- Enter the IP address or hostname of the SD-WAN controller.
- Select the appropriate credentials from the drop-down or click Add Credentials to create a new one.
- Under **Advanced Settings** (Optional), configure authentication details for child devices.
- Click **Discover** to initiate the SD-WAN discovery process.

Once completed, OpManager automatically adds the controller, edge devices, tunnels and WAN links to its inventory for continuous monitoring.

## Viewing the SD-WAN snapshot page

The snapshot page provides a centralized view of the discovered Silver Peak SD-WAN device and its performance metrics.

To access the snapshot page:

- Navigate to **Inventory** or **Network**.
- Select the desired SD-WAN device.

The snapshot page displays:

- **Basic Device Details** - Information such as model, serial number, and IP address.
- **Status & Availability** - Real-time device state and uptime data.
- **SD-WAN Summary** - High-level overview of device performance.

## Monitoring SD-WAN devices

All discovered controllers and edge devices are listed in the **Devices** tab of the snapshot page.

Key metrics for controllers and edge devices:

- **Host Name** - Name of the controller or edge device.
- **Device Model** - Hardware or software version.
- **Site Name** – Associated SD-WAN site for the device.
- **IP Address** - Unique network address of the device.
- **Device State** - Operational status (e.g., Active, Inactive, Down).
- **Serial Number** - Unique manufacturer identifier.

## Managing SD-WAN tunnels

Tunnels are secure virtual links that carry data between SD-WAN devices. Monitoring tunnel performance ensures reliable and optimized data transmission.

**Performing tunnel actions:**

Using the **Actions** button at the top-right of the Tunnels tab, you can:

- Set performance thresholds and alert rules for key tunnel metrics.
- Manage or unmanage tunnel endpoints in bulk.
- Suppress or unsuppress alarms.
- Edit thresholds and view tunnel-specific performance graphs.

**Viewing tunnel details:**

Navigate to the **Tunnels** tab from the SD-WAN snapshot page. The Tunnels section displays the following key metrics:

- **Appliance** - The SD-WAN device hosting the tunnel’s local endpoint.
- **Tunnel Endpoints** - The source and destination devices connected by the tunnel.
- **Health Status** - The current operational health of the tunnel.
- **State** - The activity status of the tunnel (Active, Inactive, or Degraded).
- **Latency (ms)** - The transmission delay across the tunnel, measured in milliseconds.
- **Packet Loss (%)** - The percentage of packets lost during transmission.
- **Jitter (ms)** - The variation in latency across the tunnel.
- **Local IP** - The IP address of the tunnel’s local endpoint.
- **Remote IP** - The IP address of the tunnel’s remote endpoint.

## Managing WAN Links

WAN links represent the physical or virtual network connections that link SD-WAN appliances to the wider network. Monitoring these links helps ensure stable connectivity and optimal performance across your SD-WAN deployment.

**Performing WAN link actions:**

Using the **Actions** button at the top-right of the WAN Links tab, you can:

- Manage or unmanage WAN links in bulk.
- Suppress or unsuppress alarms to control notifications.

**Viewing WAN link details:**

Navigate to the **WAN Links** tab from the device snapshot page. The WAN Links section displays the following key metrics:

- **Interface** - The name of the WAN interface (e.g., wan0, lan1).
- **Appliance** - The SD-WAN device associated with the WAN link.
- **State** - The operational status of the WAN link (Up or Down).
- **IP Address** - The IP address assigned to the WAN interface.
- **MAC Address** - The MAC address of the WAN interface.

## Decommissioning SD-WAN devices

When a Silver Peak SD-WAN device is no longer in use or has reached its End of Life (EOL):

- Mark the device as **Unmanaged** in OpManager.
- A decommissioning alert will be triggered, notifying administrators of its status change.

This ensures your network inventory remains accurate and up-to-date.

**Note:** When a device is deleted from OpManager, all its associated tunnels will be deleted as well.

## Rediscovering SD-WAN devices

Rediscovery updates device details when there are hardware changes, interface updates, or configuration adjustments. To rediscover a Silver Peak SD-WAN device:

- Open the device snapshot page.
- Click the menu icon (top-right corner) and select **Rediscover Device**.
- Choose an existing credential or add a new one.
- Click **ReDiscover Now**.

OpManager will refresh the device’s data and update its inventory records.

## Generating advanced reports

OpManager’s Advanced Report allows you to create custom reports with SD-WAN performance data. To create an advanced SD-WAN report:

- Go to **Reports** → **OpManager** → **Advanced Report**.
- Click **Create New Report** (top-right corner).
- Select **SD-WAN** as the Module Type.
- Add filters, performance monitors, and grouping options.
- Save and generate the report.
