About Path Selection Profiles

Path Selection Profiles (PSPs) determine the network paths or interfaces that satisfy a specific network SLA criteria from a pool (SD-WAN Group) of available network paths/interfaces.

The dynamic path selection mechanism is implemented using the PSP settings when associated with Policy-based Routes (PBR). When more than one network path meets the criterion (as per the SLA class in the PSP), then traffic is load balanced among the qualified network paths/interfaces. When associated with a policy-based routing policy or SD-WAN Rule, a Path Selection Profile helps select the optimal path among the SD-WAN interfaces for the application/service.

Name Name of the Path Selection Profile.
SD-WAN Group SD-WAN interface group to which the profile applies.
Interface Status

Status of the members of the SD-WAN interface group:

  • Qualified (green)
  • Not Qualified (red)
SLA Probe

SLA Probe used by the Path Selection Profile.

SLA Class Object

SLA Class Object used by the Path Selection Profile:

  • Lowest Latency
  • Lowest Jitter
  • Lowest Packet Loss
  • Custom SLA Class Object
Backup Interface Indicates the interface chosen when none of the SD-WAN group interfaces meet the performance criteria. If a backup interface was not chosen, None displays.
Probe Default UP

Indicates whether the default state of the SLA probe is:

  • UP (Checkmark icon)
  • DOWN (Crossmark icon)
