Strata Cloud Manager

1. Log in to Strata Cloud Manager.
2. Select ManageConfigurationNGFW and Prisma Access and in the Overview, select the branch folder for which you want to create your SD-WAN Link Management profiles.

   To make the Error Correction profile available to all SD-WAN firewalls regardless of folder association, select All Firewalls.
3. (Optional) Create a custom Path Quality profile.

   Create a custom Path Quality profile for each set of business-critical and latency-sensitive applications, application filters, application groups, services, service objects and service group objects that has unique network quality (health) requirements based on latency, jitter, and packet loss percentage specific to your business needs. Applications and services can share a Path Quality profile.

   The firewall treats the latency, jitter, and packet loss thresholds as OR conditions, meaning if any one of the thresholds is exceeded, the firewall selects the new best (preferred) path. Any path that has latency, jitter, and packet loss less than or equal to all three thresholds is considered qualified and the firewall selected the path based on the associated Traffic Distribution profile.

   As an alternative to creating a Path Quality profile, you can use any of the predefined Path Quality profiles, such as general-business, voip-video, file-sharing, audio-streaming, photo-video, and remote-access, and more. The predefined profiles are set up to optimize the latency, jitter, and packet loss thresholds for the type of applications and services suggested by the name of the profile.

   1. Select Security ServicesSD-WAN PolicyProfilesPath Quality Quality and select the branch folder for which you want to create the Path Quality profile.
   2. Add Path Quality Profile.
   3. Enter a descriptive Name.

      Up to 31 alphanumeric characters are supported.
   4. Configure the Latency settings.

      The latency settings specify the number of milliseconds allowed for a packet to leave the firewall, arrive at the opposite end of the SD-WAN tunnel, and a response packet to return to the firewall before the threshold is exceeded.

      1. Specify the latency Threshold in milliseconds.
         Range is 10 to 3000. Default is 100.
      2. Specify the latency threshold Sensitivity.
         You can select Low, Medium (default), or High sensitivity.
   5. Configure the Jitter settings.

      The jitter settings specify the number of milliseconds allowed for packet disruptions to impact data packet arrival. High jitter may cause packets to be received out of order or to be discarded.

      1. Specify the jitter Threshold in milliseconds.
         Range is 10 to 2000. Default is 100.
      2. Specify the latency threshold Sensitivity.
         You can select Low, Medium (default), or High sensitivity.
   6. Configure the Packet Loss settings.

      The packet loss settings specify the percentage of packets lost on the link before the threshold is exceeded.

      Range is 1 to 100. Default is 1.
   7. Save.
