Kaspersky SD-WAN

What's new

Kaspersky SD-WAN has the following new and improved functionality:

  • Integration with Kaspersky KSC/OSMP is supported (with some limitations; see Known limitations below).
  • Improved CPE scaling to a cluster of controllers thanks to the Active-Active Multi-Master architecture.
  • Added support for Policy-based Routing.
  • Static DHCP reservation is supported.
  • Connecting a CPE to the controller and orchestrator via a LAN port is now supported.
  • Added BGP support for additional VRF tables.
  • A CPE can be reset to default settings using a button (for KESR M1–M3 models).
  • The graphical interface of the orchestrator has been improved by replacing modal windows with side panes.
  • Improved Link State Control mechanism: the controller is asynchronously notified about failure or recovery of tunnel links.
  • Firmware metadata now includes its type (OVS/SWOS).
  • The controller/orchestrator connectivity status is indicated by an LED on the CPE panel (only for special device versions).
  • Reservation of MAC address allocation for overlay interfaces.
  • Added the OpenFlow packet prioritizing mechanism.
  • The optimized view of tunnels between CPE and controllers now displays full information about links, including the NAT and WAN Disjoint topology attributes.
  • The route metric for network interfaces with sdwan0sdwan3 aliases is assigned automatically: the sdwan0 gets the highest priority, and sdwan3 gets the lowest priority. The Route metric value is blocked for manual editing for interfaces with sdwan0sdwan9 aliases.

Known limitations

Kaspersky SD-WAN has the following limitations:

  • Limitations when integrating the solution with Kaspersky KSC/OSMP:
    • Available for new installations only
    • SSH console is not supported
    • VNC console is not supported
  • Firewall rules do not work in user-created virtual routing and forwarding tables.
  • When static routes are modified, the FRR daemon is restarted.
  • NetFlow flows are not distributed across network interfaces.
