Creating common elements

First, we must create the following common elements:

1. Create normalized interfaces. See Creating normalized interfaces.
2. Create address objects. See Creating address objects .

Creating normalized interfaces

To create normalized interfaces:

1. In Policy & Objects, go to Object Configurations > Normalized Interface.
2. Click Create New to create the following normalized interfaces:

   Name	Description
   lan_zone	System Zone combining all the LAN-facing interfaces
   hub2hub_overlay	System Zone combining all the Hub-to-Hub overlays (interconnecting regions)
   Lo-HC	Loopback (on Hubs) used for health-check probes
   Lo	Main Loopback

   

Creating address objects

To create address objects:

1. In Policy & Objects, go to Object Configurations > Firewall Objects > Addresses.
2. Click Create New > Address in order to create the following object:

   Name	Description
   CORP_LAN	Corporate (internal) LAN summary, such as 10.0.0.0/8

   

   You may have already created this address object earlier, when configuring the SD-WAN Rules.
