What is the minimum recommended size for the CVP Internal Cluster Network (overlay)? I know it defaults to a /16, but that seems excessive for a 3 node cluster. Can a smaller network size safely be specified? I realize this is a private network that doesn’t need to be routed; it only needs to be accessible by the cluster interfaces, but would still like to specify a range that doesn’t overlap with other production networks.

Hi Team, Let’s say I have CVP cluster (Active) in one site and another CVP cluster (Standby) in another site which together are Telemetry destination for all sites of customer. I’m curious to know how failure scenario’s are tackled. For example, How configuration is sync’d between two clusters How clusters detect each other failure. If Active CVP cluster is down, how standby CVP cluster take over? Let’s say if a site loses access to Active CVP cluster but has reachability to standby CVP cluster, how to avoid split-brain scenario. Is this failure scenario valid? Also, do you mind sharing some...

I have CloudVision Portal version 2020.2.0 and I need to monitor it with a user different than root. How can I configure a new user with privileges to push commands like “cvpi -v = 3 status all”
Hello Friends, I am building 3 DC with L3LS architecture, where we will have 3 different CVX cluster in 3 DC. My question is can we manage 3 DC from a single CVP cluster from any of the DC. If yes, then what are the pros and cons. Regards, Kishan
Dear community, I’m trying to setup CPV 2021.1.0 on an ESXi host via OVA (Single Node). After applying the mandarotry information and hitting (a)pply the process starts but quickly comes to halt at “still waiting for coredns clickhouse dispatcher […] … (total 146)”. This goes on for hours and is reproducible. Does it mean, something is wrong with DNS (which I didn’t configure, as its optional) or does the order of services not indicate what’s currently processed? Is this some known behavior anybody has a fix for? I’m currently downloading the 2020.3 release to check if that works… Thank you...

Hello Members, One of my client is running on CVP 2018.5.1, they want us to upgrade their CVP to 2020.2.1. I have few doubts regarding the upgrade If direct upgrade is possible from 2018.5.1 to 2020.2.1 ? If yes, then redirect me from where I can have the step by step procedure. If not then, what should be the path to upgrade ? I have seen system cpu, ram and disk requirement of CVP2020 is different then 2018. So, is it possible first upgrade then add resources to the VM or we need to add the resources 1st then proceed...

Hello Members, One of my client is looking to upgrade CVP from 2018.1.4 to 2020.2.0. We have never done CVP upgrade in past and I am having few doubts on the upgrade process Can we go direct from 2018.1.4 to 2020.2.0, or there is intermediate version we need to upgrade before the desired version ? I have checked and found system requirement for 2018.1.4 and 2020.2.0 is different, so will we be able to upgrade 1st and then increase vcpu, ram and disk space ? Someone, suggested to build a new cluster with 2020.2.0 and onboard switches and cvx in...

Hi, The current situation is that three cloud vision units are clustered and cvw capabilities are up. cvp has a synchronized ntp, so cvp on the web has a good time. However, cvw has a UTC time zone, so the log times do not match. I have a question here. 1. Are CVW time-related settings dependent on CVP? Or is it possible to set it separately in CVW? 2. The timezone in CVW is UTC, can I change it to Asia/Seoul time zone? If you can change it, please tell me how. 3. Does changing time-related settings affect clustering or...

Hi, All Hope you always in good and health condition. Anyway, i have some problem to monitor our own device into cloud-tracer. I couldn’t find any connection device in search column. I put the capture on the attachment file. However i have done to configure the monitoring connection into the device i would like to monitor. Could you have help us to resolve the issue? Thank in advance Regards Robma Bayu
Hi All, Quick question on Telemtry part, I understand CVP uses Telemetry protocol and gets data stored in Sysdb of Arista switches. Wondering, can Telemetry be supported for non-Arista devices which support gRPC protocol. If it is supported, what kind of licenses to be purchased If not supported, what functionalities that CVP can offer to non-Arista devices and what license to be procured for this Thanks in advance
Wondering, where can I get more design options for CVP disaster recovery design. Let’s say I have CVP VM’s hosted in one site and how do I make sure that data is recovered in new sites in case of disaster. I am think some options like SRM from VMware but any inbuilt features will be appreciated If I have CVP’s hosted in multiple sites, can I manage them using single global UI ? Is this feature available or in pipeline? Thanks in advance.
Description BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection) session telemetry allows for the collection of per-session statistics as well as rbfd kernel module statistics to be automatically collected at a set interval and stored in shared memory where Cloud Vision Portal (CVP) or other applications may gather them. Previously, this information was only available to the user via execution of several CLI show-commands. In addition, several new statistics have been added which are updated within the session-stats interval and provide a finer “snapshot” view of session health than the previously-available session lifetime statistics. This feature supports both hardware-accelerated and software (kernel module) accelerated...

This TOI covers the new Omnibox feature released in 2020.3.0 The Omnibox allows users to search across all sections in Cloudvision from anywhere in the app. Search results from different sections are listed and refined as more keywords are added to the query. Selecting a result will navigate to the corresponding section of Cloudvision. There are two ways to access the omnibox. At the top-right of the navigation bar, there is a search icon that will open the omnibox when clicked. Alternatively, inputting the Command ⌘ + K or the Control + K keyboard shortcuts (pressing both keys at once) will open...

Hello, I was curious how CVP gets interface utilization/rates from our switches and what the frequency of sampling is. I am curious if interface load intervals on the interfaces have any affect on what CVP gets via streaming telemetry. Example switch(config)#interface ethernet 7 switch(config-if-Et7)#load-interval 60 switch(config-if-Et7)#
Hello, I was trying to configure monitor connectivity for CVP Cloud Tracer on the switch, but I am missing the interface options as shown in Arista documentation: Arista(s1)(config-mon-connectivity)#[no] interface ? set Name of the interface set Arista(s1)(config-mon-connectivity)#[no] interface set ?

Is this a valid direct upgrade path from 2018.2.5 directly to 2020.2.1 ? I just received shipment of a brand spanking new DCA-200 “appliance” aka, Dell server. It came pre-loaded with CVP 2018.2.5 and we need to run 2020.2.1
Hi master. My customer has infrastructure Arista 2spine and 4leaf. They want to deploy new firewall Fortigate HA = 2 unit and Cloudvison appliance with MSS features. I’m reading and learn concept mss configuration on cvx and Fortigate, but there is something I’m not understanding about config mss on cvx. Arista Macro Segmentation Service integration with Fortinet Firewalls The link at the top, define command on cvx “type Fortinet fortimanager”My customer asks for me, how about not used /without the fortimanager? It is can used mss features, configuration or not? Please advise and share your experience and link recommended. Thanks Robma bayu
