Problem:

Versa Director is unable to reach an appliance even after instantiation of the IKE tunnel from the appliance to the controller.


Solution:

To resolve this issue, you must add a static route on the Versa Director for the 10.0.0.0 network (used for SD-WAN management on CPEs) after which Versa Director connects to the appliances using NETCONF.


Follow these steps to add a static route on Versa Director using the GUI:

1. In the Director Context, select Administration > System > Static Routes.

2. Click +  in the dashboard to open the Add Static Route window. 

3. Enter this information in the Add Static Route window.

Field        
Description
Description
Enter the static route name.
Destination Prefix
Enter the 10.0.0.0 network with an appropriate prefix (subnet mask).
Next Hop IP Address
Enter the next hop IP address on the south bound interface of the Versa Director towards the controller or router that connects the controller(s).
Next Hop Interface
Enter the south bound Exit interface on the Versa Director.


4. Click OK.


5. Please perform "vsh restart" on the Versa CPE. This will reinstate the post-staging process to restart on the CPE/Director. No need to delete the configs on the Versa CPE and re-run the staging process
