SD-WAN - vEdge full mesh


When onboarding a [vEdge](/sd-wan-vedge) device in a Cisco [SD-WAN](/sd-wan) implementation, one of the parameters that is set under the tunnel interface for each [WAN](/wide-area-network) to which the vEdge device is connected.

The color command sets the “color” for the TLOC. This can be seen as a tag or a name that is given to differentiate between the WAN connections.

The context-sensitive help may be more confusing than helpful:

```
vedge(config-tunnel-interface)# color ?
Description: Set color for TLOC
Possible completions:
  <3g biz-internet blue bronze custom1 custom2 custom3 default gold gre en lte metro-ethernet mpls public-internet red silver private1 private2 pri vate3 private4 private5 private6>[default]
```

The word “color” and the options like “bronze”, “silver”, or “gold” might imply that this has something to do with [QoS](/qos). Color however is nothing more than a label to differentiate between multiple WAN connections. It doesn’t have anything to do with QoS.
