Hi community,
I am labbing Cisco SD-WAN in my eve-ng environment. I have been following instructions from these two guides:
https://codingpackets.com/blog/cisco-sdwan-self-hosted-lab-part-2/
https://www.theansweris101010.network/sd-wan-deploying-the-controllers/
I have tried multiple times to deploy the controllers and have them connect and appear in the vManage GUI,. However, no matter which way I onboard the vSmart and vBond to vManage, disable/enable the tunnel-interfaces, there are no orchestrator connections established. This includes:
- vManage tunnel enabled, onboard vSmart and then vBond with tunnels disabled, then enable tunnels.
- vManage tunnel enabled, onboard vBond and then vSmart with tunnels disabled, then enable tunnels.
- vManage tunnel disabled, onboard vSmart and then vBond with tunnels disabled, then enable tunnels.
- vManage tunnel disabled, onboard vBond and then vSmart with tunnels disabled, then enable tunnels.
- vManage tunnel enabled, onboard vSmart and then vBond with tunnels enabled.
All controllers have IP reachability over VPN0. In every scenario, there are no orchestrator connections created, not even a history of attempted connections:
vBond# show orchestrator connections
!nothing
vBond# show orchestrator connections-history
!nothing
Here is a diagram of the controller topology:
I have uploaded the running configs of each controller as well as the local properties for reference. I'm really unsure what I am doing wrong because in many other lab examples, this part seems to just work.
Thanks in advance,
Josh

I've got the controllers up and running now. I'll go ahead and provide the solution for future reference. I used a site-id of 0... As soon as I changed the site-id on the controllers to another number, the connections were formed as expected!
Further reading shows that the site-id must be a number between 1 and (2^32-1). But the command accepts 0... Wouldn't it make sense not remove 0 from the input range if it is not a viable option?
