Dell EMC SD-WAN Edge 3000 Series Activation Manual page 8

Verify configuration string values
When the SD-WAN Edge 3800 is updated before activation (for example, setting a static IP address), a configuration string is
appended to the activation URL. This string is Base64 and is used to specify the static IP address during activation.
http://192.168.2.1/?activation_key=1X1X-1X1X-1X1X-1X1X1&custom_vco=vco109-

The configuration string can be decoded to verify that the profile is configured accurately. Using the above value, the correct IP
address is verified.
[{"interface":"GE5","proto":"static","ip":"143.166.81.29","gateway":"143.166.81.1","netma
sk":"255.255.255.0"}]
VMware SD-WAN Orchestrator is unavailable
If you receive the error that the SD-WAN Orchestrator is not reachable, follow these steps:
1. Change the SD-WAN Orchestrator FQDN to an IP address. You can use the nslookup command to verify the IP address of
the SD-WAN Orchestrator address listed in the activation email.
Figure 9. Change SD-WAN Orchestrator FQDN to IP address
2. Check the ignore certificates with the SD-WAN Orchestrator IP address.
3. Verify that the next-hop device such as a firewall, is not applying an outbound filter to the SD-WAN Orchestrator IP address
for TCP/443.
4. Check the firewall logs for any blocked traffic that matches the SD-WAN Orchestrator IP address.
