Cisco SDWAN : Enable onRamp on vManage

In order to maintain seamless user-to-SaaS application performance, Cisco SD-WAN has developed a cloud networking solution called Cloud OnRamp for SaaS, which uses real-time path probing data.

In addition to Webex by Cisco, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Google Apps, this solution supports many other top business-critical applications.

By sending probes to all possible paths to SaaS applications, Cisco SD-WAN Cloud OnRamp for SaaS continuously monitors all possible paths, and then, based on probe latency and loss, selects the best path for routing the traffic, ensuring fast, reliable, and efficient connectivity.

Quality-of-Experience (QoE) scores are calculated using probe loss and latency values in Cisco vManage, Cisco SD-WAN's management plane, which provides network administrators with insight into network path performance over time, allowing them to troubleshoot and improve the user experience.

Lets see how to enable the onRamp on Cisco SDWAN vManage.

Step 1: Navigate to Configuration --> Cloud onRamp for SaaS
