VeloCloud SD-WAN

Starting from version 6.9.0, IP Fabric supports the VeloCloud Orchestrator API. This feature can be activated using a feature flag.

Experimental Feature

VeloCloud discovery is still new and experimental feature. Although IP Fabric strives for the best result, IP Fabric still can’t guarantee 100% success on experimental features.

In IP Fabric, navigate to Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Discovery Settings → Vendors API, click + Add, choose VeloCloud type from the list, select type of authentication, and fill in the following details:

  • Username and Password configured in the Global Settings of the VeloCloud Orchestrator, or
  • API Token configured in the Global Settings of the VeloCloud Orchestrator
  • Base URL of VeloCloud Orchestrator (e.g., https://velocloud-ip-address)
  • Slug

Add Connection - VeloCloud - username Add Connection - VeloCloud - API token

Please note that since version 7.0 VeloCloud discovery utilizes both REST API and WebSocket connections for network discovery.

For successful discovery, Edge devices must be running software versioned 5.0.0 or newer, see WebSocket API documentation.

Edge devices not running on version 5.0.0 or newer

If your Edge devices are not running on version 5.0.0 or newer, there are workarounds available to ensure continued functionality. Specifically, you need to add the tasks ARP, Routing Table and L2 Interfaces to the Disabled Discovery Tasks list. For detailed documentation on how to perform this, see Adding a New Disabled Discovery Task. Ensure that you fill in velocloud as a family while disabling tasks.
