Welcome!
This session delves into the capabilities of the Network-Wide Path Insights (NWPI) tool, an integral component of Cisco SD-WAN that offers visibility into the path selection process of network packets. The discussion will guide you on how to access the NWPI, configure path traces, and effectively leverage this powerful diagnostic feature to obtain comprehensive path trace data
You will gain experience in initiating and interpreting path traces, enabling you to understand which the features (QoS, DPI, SLAs, Policies, NAT, SIG) are involved in a forwarding decision. The session aims to empower network administrators with an additional skill to pinpoint the underlying factors influencing packet delivery in their SD-WAN fabric.
