Replace a WAN Edge Device

Support for replacing WAN Edges (SSR and SRX)

You can replace an existing WAN Edge with a new one of the same model and Junos or SSR software version. The existing WAN Edge should already be claimed/adopted to the site, and the new WAN Edge should exist in your organization's inventory so it can be adopted into the site.

The configuration from the existing WAN edge will be cloned to the replacement device, and the replaced device will become unassigned. Because the replacement process may interrupt the network for a few minutes, even if the node is in a cluster, we recommend that you schedule a maintenance window for the operation.
