Feature Request – Routing Neighbor Information for Silver Peak Devices
Product: SolarWinds Platform / Network Performance Monitor
Feature Area: Routing / Routing Neighbors
Device Type: Silver Peak (Aruba EdgeConnect)
Request Type: Feature Enhancement
Requirement
We would like SolarWinds to provide Routing Neighbor information for Silver Peak (Aruba EdgeConnect) devices.
Currently, SolarWinds provides routing neighbor information and routing insights for various supported network devices, but equivalent visibility for Silver Peak devices is required.
Proposed Enhancement
Add support for collecting and displaying routing neighbor information from Silver Peak / Aruba EdgeConnect devices in SolarWinds.
The information should preferably be available through:
- Routing Neighbor dashboard
- Routing Neighbor details page
- Device-level routing information
- Reports
- Alerts
- Historical neighbor information
Information Requested
For each Silver Peak routing neighbor, SolarWinds should ideally display:
- Device/Node Name
- Local Interface
- Local IP Address
- Neighbor IP Address
- Neighbor Device Name
- Routing Protocol
- Neighbor State
- Remote AS Number, where applicable
- Local AS Number, where applicable
- Neighbor Uptime
- Last State Change
- Adjacency Status
- Route/Prefix information, where available
- Number of routes/prefixes received
- Number of routes/prefixes advertised
- Neighbor stability/history
Neighbor Stability / Flapping
It would also be valuable to provide neighbor stability information for Silver Peak devices.
SolarWinds should be able to identify:
- Stable neighbors
- Flapping neighbors
- Number of neighbor state changes
- Last neighbor state change
- Flapping frequency
- Neighbor uptime/duration
- Historical neighbor status
This information would help Network Operations identify unstable routing adjacencies before they result in network-impacting incidents.
Dashboard Requirement
We would like the routing neighbor information to be available in a SolarWinds dashboard similar to the existing Routing Neighbors / Neighbor Stability functionality.
For example:
| Device | Neighbor | Protocol | Interface | State | Uptime | Last Change |
| -------------- | ----------- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | ------ | -------------- |
| Silver Peak-01 | Neighbor-01 | BGP | WAN1 | Established | 12d | 12 days ago |
| Silver Peak-01 | Neighbor-02 | BGP | WAN2 | Established | 5h | 5 hours ago |
| Silver Peak-02 | Neighbor-03 | BGP | WAN1 | Flapping | 15m | 10 minutes ago |
Operational Benefits
Adding Silver Peak routing-neighbor visibility would help our Network Operations team to:
- Monitor routing adjacency health from a single SolarWinds platform.
- Identify BGP/OSPF neighbor failures.
- Detect routing neighbor flapping.
- Troubleshoot WAN and SD-WAN connectivity issues.
- Correlate routing-neighbor changes with network incidents.
- Reduce the need to manually log in to individual Silver Peak devices.
- Create alerts for neighbor-down or neighbor-flapping conditions.
- Generate historical routing-neighbor reports.
- Improve overall visibility of the SD-WAN environment.
Use Case
We have Silver Peak / Aruba EdgeConnect devices deployed as part of our SD-WAN environment.
Currently, Network Operations needs to access the Silver Peak management interface or CLI to verify routing-neighbor status and troubleshoot neighbor instability.
We would like SolarWinds to collect this information automatically and provide it alongside routing information from other supported network devices.
Additional Request
Please confirm whether routing-neighbor information for Silver Peak / Aruba EdgeConnect devices is currently supported through any existing SolarWinds integration, API, SNMP OID, or other method.
If this functionality is not currently available, we request that SolarWinds consider adding native support for Silver Peak / Aruba EdgeConnect Routing Neighbors in a future release.
This feature would significantly improve centralized monitoring and operational visibility for SD-WAN environments.
