Important Notes

SFP module testing during the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the VMware Quality Engineering teams across the world have been forced to shelter in place. For the standard Release Qualification process, remote access to our worldwide set of test laboratories has ensured the same level of testing and quality as every other VMware SD-WAN software release. 

However, the testing of SFP modules requires a physical presence in the laboratory to enable testing the full combination of modules and VMware SD-WAN Edge models. As a result, only a subset of SFP module testing has been performed in Release 3.4.1. Please note that there have been no changes to the operator system or drivers that could cause SFP modules to not work as expected.  Also, no issues were observed during the subset of SFP test cases the teams were able to execute.

VMware Edge 510-LTE configurations on CELL1

Release 3.4.1 resolves an issue where a VMware SD-WAN Edge 510-LTE could lose connectivity on CELL1 interfaces after upgrading the Orchestrator to Release 3.4.0 and making a Device Settings change. 

The release also addresses a specific VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator upgrade issue where the Profile configuration of Edge 510-LTE devices using Release 3.3.2 P1 and below would not be copied over to the new Edge 510-LTE model family configuration on the same Profile. This issue is resolved in this release by copying the Edge 510 Profile model configuration into the new Edge 510-LTE model family.

The resolution for this issue means that any Edge 510-LTE configuration that was customized at the profile level between the initial rollout of Release 3.4.0 and Release 3.4.1 will be lost and will reflect that of the latest existing 510 model configuration on the same configuration profile.  As a result, Edge 510-LTE specific configurations made at the profile level between the Orchestrator upgrade to Release 3.4.0 and Release 3.4.1 will need to be manually restored by the user.

Note: Any Edge level configurations (using Edge override) of an Edge 510-LTE will persist through the upgrade. This includes LTE modem configurations made at the Edge 510-LTE level.

Change in the Edge 520/540 switch port MAC address

On a VMware SD-WAN Edge using release 3.3.x or lower, the internal port naming (as seen when querying SNMP) was a logical name such as "sw1p0". In Release 3.4.0+, this was improved to assign proper logical names (e.g. lan1") so that users can easily map them to the actual connected ports. 

In addition, when an Edge 520 or 540 is upgraded to 3.4.0 or higher, not only does the port naming change, the switchports sw1p0 - sw1p3 will have their MAC address changed as well.  For an Edge 520/540, the switchports sw1p0 -sw1p3 correspond to LAN ports LAN1-LAN4.
Any downstream device which filters for a specific source MAC exiting from an Edge 520/540’s LAN1-LAN4 interfaces must be made aware of this MAC address change. The new MAC address upon upgrade to 3.4.0 or higher will only differ in the final  character of the address. The eth1 MAC change to eth0 MAC will be the current MAC address with the final character one lower value.  For example, if the MAC address ends in 1, the new MAC will end in 0.  If the MAC ends in B, the new MAC will end in A.

Limitation When Disabling Autonegotiation on VMware SD-WAN Edge Models 520, 540, 620, 640, 680, 3400, 3800, and 3810

When a user disables autonegotiation to hardcode speed and duplex on ports GE1 - GE4 on a VMware SD-WAN Edge model 620, 640 or 680; on ports GE3 or GE4 on an Edge 3400, 3800, or 3810; or on an Edge 520/540 when an SFP with a copper interface is used on ports SFP1 or SFP2, the user may find that even after a reboot the link does not come up.

This is caused by each of the listed Edge models using the Intel Ethernet Controller i350, which has a limitation that when autonegotiation is not used on both sides of the link, it is not able to dynamically detect the appropriate wires to transmit and receive on (auto-MDIX). If both sides of the connection are transmitting and receiving on the same wires, the link will not be detected. If the peer side also does not support auto-MDIX without autonegotiation, and the link does not come up with a straight cable, then a crossover Ethernet cable will be needed to bring the link up.

For more information please see the KB article Limitation When Disabling Autonegotiation on VMware SD-WAN Edge Models 520, 540, 620, 640, 680, 3400, 3800, and 3810 (87208).

New Features


Note: Beginning with Release 3.4.0, VMware SD-WAN has adopted a standardized set for release numbering: Major.Minor.Patch. Typically, patch releases are reserved for bug fixes and do not introduce new features. However, the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic has resulted in an overwhelming number of urgent customer requests for the below feature. The introduction of the Private Segments feature in a patch release reflects these exceptional circumstances.


Private Segments

Segments can now be marked as Private. When a segment is marked as Private, there are two functional changes that take place:

  1. Flow statistics for this segment are not sent to the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator. This allows administrators to create segments (for instance for Work at Home users) which do not give a user's employer visibility into the flows that are traversing the private segment. 
  2. Flows on private segments will not use the VMware SD-WAN Gateway to access the Internet—even if the flow matches a Business Policy configured with “Internet Multipath”. This is because without visibility into flow statistics, VMware SD-WAN is not able to fulfil the audit obligations required in case of improper behavior of user flows. 

Note: For partners operating their own SD-WAN Partner Gateways, configuring NAT routes as secure will still allow Private Segment traffic to exit at the Gateway. Partners are responsible for managing the decision on whether to allow this traffic to traverse their Gateways using these settings.

    Static routes on a VMware SD-WAN Partner Gateway may be incorrectly marked as unreachable when they are monitored using ICMP probes.

  • Issue 42577:

    Dynamic Bandwidth Adjustment does not run for a wired link that is converted to wireless.

  • Issue 42872:

    Routes on VMware SD-WAN Edge Spokes may not be removed as expected after enabling profile isolation when the Edges are connected to a VMware SD-WAN Hub Cluster.

  • Issue 43613:

    OSPF neighborship may not be established over a routed interface when the interface receives its DHCP IP after a delay.

  • Issue 45154:

    TCP MSS adjustment may not work properly for tunnels from the VMware SD-WAN Edge to a Cloud Security Service on a WAN link with an MTU less than 1400 bytes.

  • Issue 45345:

    When a VMware SD-WAN Edge connected to a Zscaler GRE tunnel sends IP fragmented traffic, ISPs in France have been observed to incorrectly set the IP length in the GRE packet set to the length of the entire reassembled packet instead of the length of the first fragment and as a result the packets are dropped on the GRE tunnel.

  • Issue 45542:

    When a VMware SD-WAN Hub Edge is removed from a Hub Cluster, the Spoke Edges remain associated with that removed Hub Edge and are not reassigned to other Hub Edges in the Cluster.

    Workaround: For the Hub Edge that is removed, run the Remote Diagnostic utility “Redistribute Spokes excluding this Hub” found under the “Rebalance Hub Cluster” section.

  • Issue 46137:

    A VMware SD-WAN Edge running 3.4.x software does not initiate a tunnel with AES-GCM encryption even if the Edge is configured for GCM.

  • Issue 47355:

    When the same route is learned via local underlay BGP, Hub BGP and/or statically configured on the Partner Gateway, the sorting order of the routes is incorrect with the Hub BGP being preferred over the underlay BGP.

  • Issue 47681:

    When a host on the LAN side of a VMware SD-WAN Edge uses the same IP as that Edge’s WAN interface, the connection from the LAN host to the WAN does not work.

  • Issue 48175:

    A VMware SD-WAN Edge running Release 3.4.2 will form an OSPF adjacency on a non-global segment if the non-global segment has an interface configured in the same IP range as an interface configured on the global segment

  • Issue 48502:

    In some scenarios, a VMware SD-WAN Hub Edge being used to backhaul internet traffic may experience a Dataplane Service Failure due the improper handling of backhaul return packets.

Orchestrator Known Issues
  • Issue 19566:

    After High Availability failover, the serial number of the standby VMware SD-WAN Edge may be shown as the active serial number in the Orchestrator.

  • Issue 20900:

    If the MaxMind geolocation service is enabled and cannot reach the MaxMind server, new VMware SD-WAN Edge activations will not work.

  • Issue 24269:

    Monitor > Transport > Loss not graphing observed WAN link loss while QoE graphs do reflect this loss. 

  • Issue 32335:

    The ‘End User Service Agreement’ (EUSA) page throws an error when a user is trying to accept the agreement.

    Workaround: Ensure no leading or trailing spaces are found in Enterprise Name.

  • Issue 33026:

    The ‘End User Service Agreement’ (EUSA) page does not reload properly after deleting the agreement.

  • Issue 35658:

    When a VMware SD-WAN Edge is moved from one profile to another which has a different CSS setting (e.g. IPsec in profile1 to GRE in profile2), the Edge level CSS settings will continue to use the previous CSS settings (e.g. IPsec versus GRE). 

    Workaround: Disable and then reenable GRE at the Edge level to resolve the issue.

  • Issue 35667:

    When a VMware SD-WAN Edge is moved from one profile to another profile which has the same CSS setting but a different GRE CSS name (the same endpoints), some GRE tunnels will not show in monitoring.

    Workaround: Disable and then reenable GRE at the Edge level to resolve the issue.

  • Issue 38843:

    When pushing an application map, there is no Operator event, and the Edge event is of limited utility.

  • Issue 39790:

    The VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator allows a user to configure a VMware SD-WAN Edge’s routed interface to have greater than the supported 32 subinterfaces, creating the risk that a user can configure 33 or more subinterfaces on an interface which would cause a Dataplane Service Failure for the Edge.

  • Issue 40341:

    Though the Skype application is properly categorized on the backend as Real Time traffic, when editing the Skype Business Policy on the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator, the Service Class may erroneously display “Transactional”.

  • Issue 40567:

    A user is able to clone a customer enterprise even though the customer's profile includes partner gateways (which cannot be cloned) and there is no clear error message about why attempting this will not work.

  • Issue 40746:

    Connected subnets and static routes associated with subinterfaces may not show up as expected on the Configure > Overlay Flow Control screen of the VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator.

    Workaround: Ignore the duplicate event.

  • Issue 41691:

    User cannot change the 'Number of addresses' field although the DHCP pool is not exhausted on the Configure > Edge > Device page.

  • Issue 42867:

    Enabling syslog forwarding at the Profile level is not applied to VMware SD-WAN Edges using that Profile.

  • Issue 43276:

    User cannot change the Segment type when a VMware SD-WAN Edge or Profile has a VMware SD-WAN Partner Gateway configured.
