Lumen® SD‑WAN with Cisco Viptela®

 

Secure virtualization for large-scale networks.

Overview

Lumen® SD-WAN with Cisco Viptela® provides advanced routing, segmentation and security capabilities for interconnecting complex enterprise networks with centralized policy and orchestration.

 

  • Network service insertion - consolidate network services at centralized locations and route traffic with simple policy changes.
 
  • End-to-end network segmentation - secure sensitive traffic among different lines of business with end-to-end segmentation. Rapidly onboard partners over any transport in enterprises with a dynamic partner ecosystem.
 
  • Encryption at scale - provide powerful encryption capabilities using automated key management and device authentication to secure nearly any infrastructure. Transport-agnostic VPNs provide a secure IP fabric over any underlying transport.

Common deployment options

  • Broadband + LTE, which is ideal for low‑priority branches or remote locations

  • Dual broadband, which is ideal for networks without MPLS, at branch locations or data centers

  • MPLS + dedicated internet, which is ideal for sites with mission‑critical applications, typically data centers and/or headquarters

Components

vSmart Controller
  • Virtual appliance
 
  • Runs on VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor
 
  • Establishes secure Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) connections to each vEdge router in the network
 
  • Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) to share routes, security and policy info

 

vEdge Routers

  • Uses preinstalled security credentials to automatically authenticate each new vEdge device before it joins the network
 
  • Centralized policy engine in the vSmart controller provides rich inbound and outbound policy constructs to manipulate routing information, access control, segmentation, extranets and service chaining
 
  • Full-featured IP routers perform standard functions such as OSPF, BGP, QoS, ACLs, and routing policies
 
  • Integrated enterprise firewall functionality
 
  • Automatically establishes secure DTLS sessions with the vSmart controller and standard IPsec sessions with other vEdge routers
 
  • vEdge 100 router includes tabletop and 1RU sizes and 100 Mbps encryption capacity
 
  • vEdge 1000 router includes half-width and 1RU sizes and 1 Gbps encryption capacity
 
  • vEdge 2000 router includes full-widths and 1RU and 10 Gbps encryption capacity

 

vBond Orchestrator

  • Virtual appliance enabling configuration management and monitoring of the solution
 
  • Runs on VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor with a minimum of two vCPUs and 4GB of memory
 
  • Minimum of two vCPUs and 8GB of memory

 

vManage Network Configuration and Monitoring System

  • Virtual appliance enabling configuration management and monitoring of the solution
 
  • Runs on VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor with a minimum of two vCPUs and 8GB of memory
 
  • Centralized policy and distributed enforcement including Overlay Management Protocol to eliminate bottlenecks and enable quick turnaround in network changes
 
  • Automated secure bringup including Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip with signed certificate to help ensure automated authentication of vEdge routers joining the network
 
  • Integrated enterprise firewall including user-based security policies and segmentation, IPsec, VPN, NAT and ACLs standard to enhance security and simplify infrastructure management
 
  • Encrypted control and data traffic that can scale to multiple tens of thousands of network endpoints and 100K+ routes while still providing multipoint security
 
  • Scale-out architecture with redundancy that can withstand multiple failures in the overlay network for both the control and data plane
 
  • End-to-end network segmentation that can be rapidly enabled without additional control plane protocols to protect the network from internal and external threats
