Router Mode Standard Deployment

This section describes the main steps for configuring a Router Mode network. It is based on a typical use case illustrating a simple deployment where three branch office appliances are connected to a Data Center appliance over either the MPLS private network, or the Internet, or both. This deployment consists of configuring the appliances and creating IPsec tunnels.

A full Router Mode network includes appliances with WAN interfaces deployed in Router mode only. The SD-WAN Orchestrator enables you to build an overlay network of site connections through IPsec tunnels.

•

B01 is connected to the Data Center through one tunnel over the Internet. Another tunnel connects B01 to B02.

•

B02 is connected to the Data Center through two tunnels, one over the Internet and the other one over MPLS. A third tunnel connects B02 to B01.

•

B03 is connected to the Data Center through one tunnel over the MPLS private network.

•

B04 is a RVC destination managed by remote appliances; there is a tunnel from the B04 CE router to the Data Center appliance.
