To activate VMware Edge Network Intelligence on SD-WAN Edges, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • The Analytics functionality must be activated for the Customer before provisioning an Analytics Edge. For more information, see VMware Edge Network Intelligence Configuration Guide available at https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-SD-WAN/index.html.
  • The SD-WAN Edges must be running a minimum of 4.3.1 code. You can review the software image installed on each edge by navigating to Configure > Edges. The table on the Edges page will have a column of the current Software image on each Edge per customer.
  • If the Edge is using the 4.2 release, ensure the Edge has a LAN interface that is up and advertised or use the special MGMT-IP software build, otherwise the Edge will not be able to send metrics to the ENI backend.
