Step 2: Up and Running

Here’s how to add a tenant:

Deploy the SD-WAN Service (Tenant Administrator)

• Add an Enterprise Hub Site

• Add an SD-WAN Branch Site

• Upload and Push the Device License

• Install the Signature Database

• Add and Deploy a Firewall Policy

• Deploy SD-WAN Policy Intents

Add an Enterprise Hub Site

1. From the main menu, go to the Site Management page (Resources > Site Management), click Add, and select Enterprise Hub.

   The Add Enterprise Hub page opens.

2. Complete the configuration settings according to the following guidelines:

   Tab	Field	Action
   General	Site Name	Give the enterprise hub site a unique name. You can use alphanumeric characters and hyphen (-); the maximum length allowed is 32 characters. Example: E-hub1
   General	Device Host Name	The device host name is auto-generated and uses the format tenant-name.host-name. You cannot change the tenant-name part in the device host name. Use alphanumeric characters and hyphen(-); the maximum length allowed is 32 characters.
   General	Site Capabilities	Note: Device Management, enabled by default, allows you to create a site with only device management capability (without any services) and add services later. To add an SD-WAN capability for this site, choose one of the following SD-WAN service types: Secure SD-WAN Essentials—(Available for tenants with SD-WAN Essentials service level) Provides basic SD-WAN services. You can upgrade an SD-WAN Essentials site to an SD-WAN Advanced site by editing the site information. Secure SD-WAN Advanced—(Available for tenants with SD-WAN Advanced service level) Provides the complete SD-WAN services. You cannot downgrade an SD-WAN Advanced site to an SD-WAN Essentials site.
   Device	Device Series	Select SRX.
   Device	Device Template	Select a device template for the SRX Series device. The SRX Series device template contains information for configuring the SRX Series device. For example, for an SRX4100 device, select SRX4x00 as SD-WAN CPE (or a modified version of that template) as the device template.
   Device	Use for Fullmesh	Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link to be part of a full-mesh topology. You typically implement a full-mesh topology to connect remote offices within an organization. A full-mesh topology is not commonly used to connect separate organizations because it allows each site to communicate directly with other sites. Configure the two additional fields that appear: Mesh Overlay Link Type: Keep the default selection (GRE over IPsec) as the type of encapsulation to be used for the overlay tunnels in the full-mesh topology. Mesh Tags: Select one or more mesh tags for the WAN link. The tunnels between the enterprise hub site and the branch site are added based on matching mesh tags. So, if you want meshing to take place between a WAN link on the enterprise hub and a WAN link on the branch site, the mesh tags must be the same for both sites.
   Device	Enable Local Breakout	Click the toggle button to enable local breakout on the WAN link. By default, local breakout is disabled. Note: If you enable this option, the WAN link can be used for local breakout. You must enable local breakout on at least one WAN link for a single CPE connection plan and at least two WAN links for a dual CPE connection plan. Otherwise, the local breakout is disabled for the site.
   Device	Preferred Breakout Link	Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link as the most preferred breakout link. If you disable this option, the breakout link is chosen using ECMP from the available breakout links.
   Device	Connects to Provider Hubs	Note: The Connects to Provider Hubs field is available only if you have selected a provider hub. Click the toggle button to specify that the WAN link of the site connects to a provider hub. Note: For sites with a single CPE, you must enable at least one WAN link to connect to the hub so that OAM traffic can be transmitted. For sites with a dual CPE, you must enable at least one WAN link per device to connect to the hub so that OAM traffic can be transmitted.
   Device	Use for OAM Traffic	If you’ve specified that the WAN link is connected to a hub, click the toggle button to enable sending the OAM traffic over the WAN link. Enable this field on at least two WAN links for redundancy. This WAN link is then used to establish the OAM tunnel.
   Device	Overlay Tunnel Type	This field is displayed when the Connects to Provider Hubs field is enabled. Select the mesh overlay tunnel type (GRE and GRE_IPSEC) of the tunnel to the hub. MPLS links can have both GRE and GRE_IPSEC as the overlay link type. However, Internet links can have only GRE_IPSEC as the overlay link type.
   Device	Overlay Peer Interface	This field is displayed when the Connects to Provider Hubs field is enabled. Select the interface name of the hub device to which the WAN link of the site is connected.
   Device	Link Priority	Enter a value in the range 1-255. A lower value indicates a more preferred link. A value of 1 indicates highest priority and a value of 255 indicates lowest priority. If you do not enter a value, the link priority is considered as 255.
   Device	Add LAN Segment	Add the LAN segment by specifying the Name, Department, Gateway Address/Mask, and CPE Ports.

3. Click Finish to add the site.

   If you selected a service while adding the device, the Site Status on the Site Management page changes to Provisioned. If you did not select a service, then the Site Status remains in the Managed state until you apply the service. You can edit the site and add the service. After you add the service, the Site Status changes to Provisioned.

   Some of the other site states are as follows:

   • Created—Indicates that the site was added but not configured.

   • Configured—Indicates that the site was configured but not activated.

   • Partially-Provisioned– Indicates that one or more DHCP WAN links of the site does not have an IP address after ZTP is complete.

   • Maintenance—Indicates that the site upgrade is in progress; any deployments that might occur because of other jobs are skipped when the site status is under Maintenance.

Add an SD-WAN Branch Site

1. From the main menu, go to the Site Management page (Resources > Site Management), click Add, and select Branch Site (Manual).

   The Add Branch Site page opens.

2. Complete the configuration settings according to the following guidelines: .

   Tab	Field	Action
   General	Site Name	Enter a unique name for the site. You can use alphanumeric characters and hyphen (-); the maximum length allowed is 32 characters.
   General	Device Host Name	The device host name is auto-generated and uses the format tenant-name.host-name. You cannot change the tenant-name part in the device host name. Use alphanumeric characters and hyphen(-); the maximum length allowed is 32 characters.
   General	Site Capabilities	Note: Device Management, enabled by default, allows you to create a site with only device management capability (without any services) and add services later. To add an SD-WAN capability for this site, choose one of the following SD-WAN service types: Secure SD-WAN Essentials—(Available for tenants with SD-WAN Essentials service level) Provides basic SD-WAN services. You can upgrade an SD-WAN Essentials site to an SD-WAN Advanced site by editing the site information. The SD-WAN Essentials service provides a subset of the Secure SD-WAN Advanced services. It does not support multihoming, dynamic mesh tunnels, cloud breakout profiles, SLA-based steering profiles, pool based source NAT rules, IPv6, MAP-E, or underlay BGP. Secure SD-WAN Advanced—(Available for tenants with SD-WAN Advanced service level) Provides complete SD-WAN services. You cannot downgrade an SD-WAN Advanced site to an SD-WAN Essentials site.
   Device	Device Series	Select the device family that your CPE device belongs to—SRX, NFX150, or NFX250.
   Device	Device Template	Select a device template for the CPE device. For example, for an SRX300 device, select SRX as SD-WAN CPE (or a modified version of that template) as the device template.
   Device	Use for Fullmesh	Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link to be part of a full-mesh topology. You typically implement a full-mesh topology to connect remote offices within an organization. A full-mesh topology is not commonly used to connect separate organizations because it allows each site to communicate directly with other sites. Note: A site with a single-CPE device can have a maximum of three WAN links enabled for meshing. A site with dual-CPE devices can have a maximum of four WAN links enabled for meshing. Configure the two additional fields that appear: Mesh Overlay Link Type: Keep the default selection (GRE over IPsec) as the type of encapsulation to be used for the overlay tunnels in the full-mesh topology. Note: For links with public IP addresses, we recommend that you use GRE over IPsec as the mesh overlay link type. Mesh Tags: Select a mesh tag for the WAN link. Note: You can select only one mesh tag, so ensure that you select the correct one. The tunnels between the enterprise hub and the branch site or between two branch sites are added based on matching mesh tags.
   Device	Enable Local Breakout	Click the toggle button to enable local breakout on the WAN link. By default, local breakout is disabled. Note: If you enable this option, the WAN link can be used for local breakout. You must enable local breakout on at least one WAN link for a single CPE connection plan and at least two WAN links for a dual CPE connection plan. Otherwise, the local breakout is disabled for the site.
   Device	Preferred Breakout Link	Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link as the most preferred breakout link. If you disable this option, the breakout link is chosen using ECMP from the available breakout links.
   Device	Connects to Provider Hubs	Note: The Connects to Provider Hubs field is available only if you have selected a provider hub. Click the toggle button to specify that the WAN link of the site connects to a provider hub. Note: For sites with a single CPE, you must enable at least one WAN link to connect to the hub so that OAM traffic can be transmitted. For sites with a dual CPE, you must enable at least one WAN link per device to connect to the hub so that OAM traffic can be transmitted.
   Device	Use for OAM Traffic	If you have specified that the WAN link is connected to a hub, click the toggle button to enable sending the OAM traffic over the WAN link. Enable this field on at least two WAN links for redundancy. This WAN link is then used to establish the OAM tunnel.
   Device	Overlay Tunnel Type	This field is displayed when the Connects to Provider Hubs field is enabled. Select the mesh overlay tunnel type (GRE and GRE_IPSEC) of the tunnel to the hub. MPLS links can have both GRE and GRE_IPSEC as the overlay link type where as Internet links can have only GRE_IPSEC as the overlay link type.
   Device	Overlay Peer Interface	This field is displayed when the Connects to Provider Hubs field is enabled. Select the interface name of the hub device to which the WAN link of the site is connected.
   Device	Link Priority	Enter a value in the range 1-255. A lower value indicates a more preferred link. A value of 1 indicates highest priority and a value of 255 indicates lowest priority. If you do not enter a value, the link priority is considered as 255.
