Environment

VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud
VMware SD-WAN

Cause

The call made following the removal of the BGP handoff configuration does not include details about the other gateways which the Orchestrator interprets as no configuration.
This is caused by a known issue under ID 122866.

Resolution

VMware is aware of this issue and working to resolve this in a future release.

Workaround:
Avoid deleting the configuration using the "Remove" option in the new VCO UI.
If you need to remove the BGP handoff configuration use the "Classic UI". For any other configuration changes, continue to use the new UI.

If you are running on a 5.2 Orchestrator and do not have access to the Classic UI, contact VMware Support and note this Article ID (93660) in the problem description. For more information, see VMware SD-WAN – Support.
