Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) integrates with Network Intelligence Service (NIS), allowing you to diagnose your transit router instances. This feature automatically identifies network issues, explains the root causes, and provides actionable recommendations. Use this feature to troubleshoot problems without manually inspecting your network configurations.
Limitations
This feature supports only Enterprise Edition transit router instances.
Transit router diagnostic items
The following table lists the diagnostic items for transit router instances.
|
Category |
Item |
Description |
|
Configuration |
Cross-region throttling check |
Checks whether a bandwidth limit is configured for the inter-region connections of the transit router. |
|
Route learning check |
Checks whether route learning exists between the network instance connections and the route table of the transit router. If route learning is not required for a network instance connection, ensure that a static route to the network instance exists in the route table of the transit router. Otherwise, the transit router cannot forward traffic to the network instance. For more information about route learning, see Route learning. |
|
|
Associated forwarding check |
Checks whether an associated forwarding relationship exists between the network instance connections and the route table of the transit router. For more information about associated forwarding, see Associated forwarding. |
|
|
Network ACL configuration check |
Checks whether the network ACL allows traffic from the CIDR block of the vSwitch that connects the VPC to the transit router. For more information about network ACLs, see Network ACLs. |
|
|
Automatic route advertisement check |
Checks whether automatic route advertisement is enabled for VBR connections and inter-region connections. Enable automatic route advertisement for VBR and inter-region connections to allow VBR instances and transit routers to automatically learn routes from each other. |
|
|
Quota |
Route usage check |
Checks whether the number of routes in the route table of the transit router has reached 80% of the route quota. |
|
Cross-region throttling check (QoS queue) |
Checks whether the bandwidth utilization of each QoS queue for the inter-region connection has reached 80%. |
|
|
Cross-region throttling check (connection) |
Checks whether the bandwidth utilization of the inter-region connection has reached 80%. |
|
|
Inter-region connection packet loss check |
Checks whether the inter-region connection experienced packet loss due to throttling in the last 15 minutes. |
|
|
QoS queue packet loss check |
Checks whether the QoS queues of the inter-region connection experienced packet loss due to throttling in the last 15 minutes. |
|
|
Payment |
Overdue payment alert |
Checks whether the bandwidth plan associated with the CEN instance has an overdue payment. |
|
Expiring bandwidth plan alert |
Checks whether the bandwidth plan associated with the CEN instance will expire within 7 days. |
|
|
Route |
Route conflict check |
Checks for route conflicts among network instances connected to the transit router. |
|
VPC routes check |
Checks whether the destination CIDR blocks of all routes that point to the transit router in the VPC's route table cover all destination CIDR blocks in the transit router's route table. This applies to the route table associated with the VPC connection. |
Run a diagnostic
Log on to the CEN console.
On the CEN Instance page, click the ID of the CEN instance that you want to manage.
-
On the tab, find the transit router instance in the target region and click Diagnose in the Instance Diagnostics column.
-
In the Instance Diagnostics panel, view the diagnostic details.
Note-
If you have not activated NIS, select Terms of Service for Standard Edition NIS and click Activate NIS free of charge to diagnose instances..
-
When you run a diagnostic for the first time, the system automatically creates a service-linked role named AliyunServiceRoleForNis. For more information about this role, see Service-linked roles.
