Add a device to an SD-WAN topology in a dual ISP deployment

This task enables you to add a device to an SD-WAN topology in a dual ISP deployment using a device template.

Use this procedure to integrate a device into an existing SD-WAN topology that utilizes dual ISP connections for redundancy and load balancing.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have two SD-WAN VPN topologies with the same hub. For more information about configuring SD-WAN topologies, see Configure an SD-WAN topology using the SD-WAN wizard.

Follow these steps to add a device to an SD-WAN topology in a dual ISP deployment:

Procedure

Step 1

Create a device template.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management.

For detailed instructions, see Create a new device template.

Step 2

Add a physical interface in the template.

By default, a template has only one outside interface. Rename the outside interfaces, for example, ISP1, ISP2.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click Interfaces > Add Physical Interface .

For detailed instructions, see Add a physical interface.

Step 3

Configure an SD-WAN VPN connection using ISP1 interface.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click VPN > Add VPN Connection.

For detailed instructions, see Configure an SD-WAN VPN connection.

Step 4

Configure an SD-WAN VPN connection using ISP2 interface.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click VPN > Add VPN Connection.

For detailed instructions, see Configure an SD-WAN VPN connection.

Step 5

Add static routes from ISP1 and ISP2 interfaces to the SD-WAN hub network.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click Routing > Static Route.

Step 6

Add the ISP1 and ISP2 interfaces to an ECMP zone.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click Routing > ECMP.

Step 7

Configure the network object overrides.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click Template Settings > Template Parameters > Add Network Objects Overrides.

For detailed instructions, see Add a network object override.

Step 8

Map the template interfaces to the device model interfaces (Model Mapping).

Navigate to Devices > Template Management, and click Template Settings > Model Mapping.

For detailed instructions, see Add model mapping.

Step 9

Apply template to the device.

Navigate to Devices > Template Management.

For detailed instructions, see Apply a template.

The device is successfully added to the SD-WAN topology in a dual ISP deployment. For more information about dual ISP deployment using the SD-WAN wizard, see Sample configurations for dual-ISP deployment using SD-WAN wizard.

What to do next

Click Deploy deploy the configurations on the device and the hubs of the SD-WAN topologies.
