Cisco vEdge vEdge-100b Router Chassis

Introducing the Cisco vEdge vEdge-100b Router Chassis — a purpose-built edge device that powers modern WAN connectivity for SD-WAN and traditional routing deployments. This chassis-based router is designed to sit at the perimeter of your network, ready to serve remote offices, branch locations, campuses, or data centers with reliable, secure, and scalable connectivity. Built to simplify deployment and ongoing operations, the vEdge-100b combines high-performance routing with integrated network services, enabling consistent application performance across distributed sites. As organizations accelerate digital transformation, the vEdge-100b provides a resilient platform to unify edge services, enforce security policies, and orchestrate network behavior from a centralized control plane. By delivering a cohesive edge experience, it helps minimize complexity, reduce MTTR, and improve overall network visibility for IT teams managing multi-site environments. Whether your goal is to extend traditional MPLS-based connectivity or to embrace SD-WAN for dynamic path selection, the vEdge-100b is designed to be a dependable anchor in your enterprise fabric, capable of handling multiple services at the edge while integrating with Cisco’s broader SD-WAN ecosystem for policy-based management and enhanced security.

  • Unified WAN gateway for SD-WAN and traditional routing: centralizes routing, security, and application optimization at the edge. It enables seamless traffic steering, dynamic path selection, and application-aware policies that adapt to changing network conditions.
  • Secure connectivity and policy-driven networking: supports VPNs, encryption, segmentation, and centralized policy management via Cisco’s SD-WAN orchestration. This delivers consistent, secure access across dispersed sites and cloud-connected workloads.
  • Multi-service edge with centralized control: combines essential services such as routing, firewalling, and traffic shaping to ensure critical applications receive priority, predictable latency, and reliable bandwidth as business needs evolve.
  • Compact, edge-focused hardware design: engineered for remote offices, branches, campuses, and data centers with a small footprint and power-efficient operation, optimized for space-constrained environments without compromising performance.
  • Seamless interoperability within the Cisco ecosystem: works alongside vManage, vBond, and vSmart to deliver a cohesive network fabric, enabling scalable deployment models, simplified lifecycle management, and unified security posture across the WAN.

How to install Cisco vEdge vEdge-100b Router Chassis

Installing the Cisco vEdge vEdge-100b Router Chassis involves careful planning, physical installation, and initial configuration to bring the device into the Cisco SD-WAN fabric. Before you begin, verify that you have the appropriate mounting hardware, power supply, network cables, and access to the SD-WAN management plane. This guide provides high-level steps to help you deploy the vEdge-100b into a typical distributed network environment, whether you are upgrading an existing site or provisioning a new remote office. Adhere to your organization's change-management process and network security policies during the installation.

  • Pre-installation planning: confirm site readiness, identify the edge role (remote office, branch, campus, or data center), and map the intended WAN, LAN, and uplink connections. Ensure you have the necessary IP addressing, device credentials, and access to the SD-WAN controller (vManage) for onboarding the edge.
  • Physical installation: mount the chassis in a standard 19-inch rack if applicable, secure all cabling, and connect power. Route cables to minimize interference, label connections for future maintenance, and verify that cooling and ventilation meet the device’s requirements to sustain stable performance.
  • Initial network bootstrap: connect a management workstation to the edge’s management interface, assign a temporary IP if required, and reach the onboarding portal. Use secure access methods (SSH or HTTPS) to begin the initial configuration, ensuring you follow your organization’s security guidelines.
  • Onboarding to the SD-WAN fabric: provision the vEdge device within the SD-WAN controller (vManage) by applying the designated device template or policy. Join the edge to the correct site, assign the appropriate control plane (vBond/vSmart), and verify that the device is visible and healthy in the management console.
  • Policy deployment and validation: configure routing policies, VPNs, security rules, and QoS settings from the central controller. Validate connectivity by testing reachability to critical sites and cloud services, then monitor the edge’s performance and health status to ensure stable operation.
  • Post-installation checks: review logs, verify that encryption and VPN tunnels are up, test failover scenarios, and confirm that traffic steering aligns with your application-performance goals. Establish baseline performance metrics to monitor over time.
