Setting Up Your Network with Customer Portal

Your service provider specifies which sites appear in your network and the network services that you can use. When you start working in Customer Portal, you must set up your network using the available sites and network services.

To set up your network with Customer Portal:

1. You can add the following types of sites from the Sites page:

   • Provider hub site: Connects to multiple spoke sites using overlay connections. To add a provider hub site, see Add Provider Hub Sites in SD-WAN Deployments.

   • Branch site: Represents an endpoint that is part of customer premise equipment (CPE) at some physical location such as branch office or point of sale location. Typically, these points are connected using overlay connections to hub sites. You can add branch sites manually or by using site templates:

     • To manually add a branch site with SD-WAN or Next Gen Firewall capability, see Manually Adding Branch Sites.

     • To add multiple branch sites, use site templates. See Add Branch Sites by Using a Site Template.

   • Cloud spoke site: Connects to a hub site using overlay connections. To add a cloud spoke site, see Adding Cloud Spoke Sites for SD-WAN Deployment.

   • Enterprise hub site: An enterprise hub site carries site-to-site traffic between branch sites and to break out backhaul (central breakout) traffic from branch sites. To add an enterprise hub site, see Add Enterprise Hubs with SD-WAN Capability .

2. Activate the site.

3. Deploy network services. See Manage a Site.

4. View and manage policies.

   • View and manage a firewall policy. See Adding Firewall Policy Intents and Deploying Policies.

   • View and manage an SD-WAN policy. See Adding SLA-Based Steering Profiles, Adding Path-Based Steering Profiles, Creating SD-WAN Policy Intents, and Deploying Policies.
