Configure Miscellaneous Parameters

In the Miscellaneous tab, you can configure the following miscellaneous parameters. To configure NTP server, SNMP, syslog server, and VNF manager, you must first lock the device using the enable lock mode option in the honeycomb view in the Versa Portal home screen. The lock icon displays only if the device is deployed. A blue lock icon indicates that the device is unlocked, and a red lock icon indicates that the device is locked. After you publish the changes to Titan Portal, you must unlock the device.

  • Application-level gateway (ALG) profile—ALG is a communication protocol that connects Versa Operating SystemTM (VOSTM) devices with various services. For example, if you want to send files through FTP and to establish calls with VOS devices using SIP, you configure ALG for a branch.
  • NTP server—You can configure the time settings on a VOS device in NTP mode. 
  • Override DF bit—The DF bit override functionality allows you to configure the setting of the DF bit when encapsulating tunnel mode IPsec traffic on a global or per-interface level. If you set the DF bit to clear, routers can fragment packets regardless of the original DF bit setting.
  • SNMP—To configure SNMP, you must configure an SNMP profile. You can configure only one LAN or WAN with static IP address. A private SASE gateway can modify this configuration only before the device is deployed and activated. To modify the configuration later, contact Versa Networks Customer Support. For more information, see Add an SNMP Profile.
  • Syslog server—Configure a reachable syslog IP server. A syslog server consolidates logs from multiple sources into a single location. Syslog messages contain information that identifies basic information about where, when, and why the log was sent, including the IP address, timestamp, and the actual log message. You configure a syslog server for each VOS device. You can add the port number at the end of the IP address in the format IP address:port number. The default port number is 514.
  • VNF manager—The VNF manager IP is the IP address assigned to the Versa VNF manager, which is used to manage and monitor virtualized network functions (VNFs) within the Versa SD-WAN environment.

To configure the miscellaneous parameters:

  1. Click Configure in the left menu bar to open the Configure dashboard.
  2. Hover over the device in the honeycomb, and click Configure to open the site information window.

    • IKE-ESP
    • PPTP
    • SIP
    • TFTP
    Configure SNMP (Group of Fields)  
    • Source Interface
    Select the LAN or WAN with static IP address to use to reach the SNMP server.
    • Source IP
    Enter the IP address of the SNMP agent.
    Override DF Bit Select the override DF bit with IPsec tunnels to set the DF bit when encapsulating tunnel-mode IPsec traffic on a global or per-interface level. If the DF bit is set to clear, routers can fragment packets regardless of the original DF bit setting.

    • Set Timezone
    Select the timezone to set on the CPE device.
    • Set NTP Server (IP or Hostname)
    Enter the IP address or hostname of the NTP server.
    • Set Source Network

    Syslog Server IP

    Enter the IP address and port number of the syslog server. Add the port number at the end of the IP address in the format IP address:port number. The default port number is 514.
