Citrix SD-WAN

Rules by IP address and port number

Rules by IP address and port number feature helps you to create rules for your network and take certain Quality of Service (QoS) decisions based on the rules. You can create custom rules for your network. For example, you can create a rule as – If source IP address is 172.186.30.74 and destination IP address is 172.186.10.89, set Transmit mode as Persistent Path and LAN to WAN Class as 10(realtime_class)”.

You can create rules locally at a site level or at the global level. If more than one site requires the same rule, you can create a template for rules globally under Global > Virtual Path Default Sets > Rules. The template can then be attached to the sites where the rules need to be applied. Even if a site is associated with the globally created rule template, you can create site specific rules. In such cases, site specific rules take precedence and override the globally created rule template.

From Citrix SD-WAN 11.5 release onwards, you can create IP rules using Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator service. For more information, see IP rules.

Verify rules

Navigate to Monitoring > Flows. Select Flow Type field located in the Select Flows section at the top of the Flows page. Next to the Flow Type field there is a row of check boxes for selecting the flow information you want to view. Verify if the flow information is according to the configured rules.

Example: The rule “If source IP address is 172.186.30.74 and destination IP address is 172.186.10.89, set Transmit mode as Persistent Path” shows the following Flows Data.
