Identifying the appliance

Identifying an auto-provisioned appliance

After the B02 appliance with the 'SN345678' Serial Number (and its Model/Version information) has been automatically provisioned in the SD-WAN Orchestrator from the ZTP Server, as indicated via the sign, it appears under the 'Not Configured' tab of the Network -> Configuration window.

Proceed as follows to identify and further configure the appliance (refer to "Use Case 1").

In the Network -> Configuration window, click

to edit the appliance.

In the Deployment Mode panel, select the Bridge-Router option and hit the

icon to enable the related panels and functions of the interface.

In the General panel, enter the Name of the appliance as well as the name of the related Site (B02).

The button at the right of the Site Name enables you to display the Site subnets.

Select the Auto option of the Local AS parameter. The related field is automatically populated with a number selected by the Orchestrator from the AS Number Range you have specified in the Overlay Routing panel of the Advanced Configuration window.

This parameter is used in B02 WAN3 for tunnel mapping between this Site and the other Sites it will be connected to (Data Center and B01).

Through the Role field, define the appliance as a Spoke since it identifies a Branch Office appliance (generates tunnel requests on L3 interfaces). Tunnels are always built from the spokes to the hub.

Since NATted DTI traffic is enabled on the WAN3 interface, select the Syslog Server you defined in "Advanced Configuration" to enable log export.

WAN Optimization is activated by default on this appliance if the matching license is available.

Serial Number Format

The Serial Numbers provided as examples in the use cases of the current documentation are virtual. To know how to identify the type of any appliance through its Serial Number, refer to "General Rules"

Identifying an appliance in the SD-WAN Orchestrator only

You may identify an appliance in the SD-WAN Orchestrator even if it is still unprovisioned, in order to configure it in advance.

In the General panel, enter the Name of the appliance as well as the name of the related Site (B02).

The button at the right of the Site Name enables you to display the Site subnets.

Enter the appliance Serial Number (Create "SN"). The

sign means that this appliance is not defined on the ZTP Server and consequently is not operational in your network.

Through the Role field, define the appliance as a Spoke since it identifies a Branch Office appliance.

Since NATted DTI traffic is enabled on the WAN3 interface, select the Syslog Server you defined in "Advanced Configuration" to enable log export.

WAN Optimization is activated by default on this appliance if the matching license is available.

As soon as the appliance is provisioned on ZTP, you only need to update its Serial Number in the SD-WAN Orchestrator.
