SD-LAN Profiles Workflow

This section describes the workflow for SD-LAN profiles.

Figure 1 depicts the workflow for adding SD-LAN profiles to CSO and assigning them to the EX Series switches.

Figure 1: Add Profiles Workflow

To use profiles to configure EX Series switches, do the following:

1. Add an authentication profile; see Add Authentication Profiles.

2. Add firewall filters for egress and ingress traffic; see Add Firewall Filters.

3. Add a port profile by assigning the authentication profile and the firewall filters; see Add Port Profiles.

4. Add RADIUS Server profiles; see Add RADIUS Server Profiles.

5. Add an access profile by using the RADIUS server profiles; see Add Access Profiles.

6. Do one of the following:

   • If you are adding a site with a switch, assign the port profile and the access profile while adding the site; see Add an On-Premise Spoke Site with LAN Capability.

   • If the switch is already onboarded to CSO, edit the switch configuration to add the port profile and the access profile; see Configure an EX Series Switch by Using Profiles.
