Managing links

You can view the links in one of the following ways:

• To display the table of links established from a CPE device, go to the SD-WAN → CPE menu section, click the CPE device, and select the Links tab.
• To display the table of all links, go to the Infrastructure menu section, click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller, and go to the Links section.
• To display the graphical topology with all links, go to the Infrastructure menu section, click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller, and go to the Topology section.

When viewing the table of links, information about the links is displayed in the following table columns:

• Source is the name, DPID, and OpenFlow port number of the CPE device that is the link source.
• Destination is the name, DPID, and OpenFlow port number of the CPE device that is the link destination.
• Unsolicited indicates whether the controller uses this link as the last resort when calculating the path, regardless of the monitoring indicators:
  • Y
  • N
• Thresholds monitoring indicates whether link monitoring is on:
  • Y
  • N
• MTU is the MTU value of the link.
• Errors/second is the number of errors per second on the link.
• Utilization (%) is the load of the link as a percentage of the bandwidth of the source service interface.
• Latency (ms.) is the delay time in milliseconds for traffic transmitted through the link.
• Jitter (ms.) is the jitter time in milliseconds for traffic transmitted through the link.
• Packet loss (%) is the percentage of traffic packet loss on the link.
• Speed (Mbit/sec.) is the speed of traffic transmission through the link in Mbps.
• Cost is the link cost.

The actions you can perform with the table are described in the Managing solution component tables instructions.
