Interface members

Create new WAN interface members.

To create a new interface member:
  1. Ensure that you are in the correct ADOM and that central SD-WAN management is enabled.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Click Create New in the content pane toolbar, or right-click and select Create New. The Create New WAN Interface page opens.

  4. Enter the following information, then click OK to create the new WAN interface:

    Name

    Enter the name of the WAN detect server.

    Description

    Enter a description of the server.

    Default Interface

    Specify the default interface for the WAN link.

    Gateway

    The default gateway for this interface. Usually the default gateway of the Internet service provider that this interface is connected to.

    Weight

    Weight of this interface for weighted load balancing (0 - 255). More traffic is directed to interfaces with higher weights.

    Volume Ratio

    Measured volume ratio (this value / sum of all values = percentage of link volume, 0 - 255).

    Per-Device Mapping

    Enable per-device mapping. See Per-device mapping.

    Advanced Options

    gateway6

    IPv6 gateway address.

    ingress-spillover-threshold

    Ingress spillover threshold for this interface (0 - 16776000 kbit/s). When this traffic volume threshold is reached, new sessions spill over to other interfaces in the SD-WAN.

    priority

    Priority of the interface (0 - 4294967295). Used for SD-WAN rules or priority rules.

    source

    Source IPv4 address.

    source6

    Source IPv6 address.

    spillover-threshold

    Egress spillover threshold for this interface (0 - 16776000 kbit/s). When this traffic volume threshold is reached, new sessions spill over to other interfaces in the SD-WAN.

    status

    Enable/disable the interface.

To edit an interface member:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Select the interface member from the list and click Edit in the toolbar, or right-click the interface then select Edit. The Edit WAN Interface page opens.
  4. Edit the interface as required, and click OK to apply your changes.
To delete an interface member or members:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Select the interface or interfaces from the list and click Delete in the toolbar, or right-click the interface and select Delete.
  4. Click OK in the confirmation dialog box to delete the interface or interfaces.

Per-device mapping

To add WAN interface per-device mapping:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Click Create New in the content pane toolbar, or right-click and select Create New. The Create New WAN Interface page opens.
  4. Enable Per-Device Mapping.
  5. Click Create New in the per-device mapping toolbar. The Create New Interface Member dialog-box opens.

  6. Select a Mapped Device then an Interface from the drop-down lists.
  7. Enter the Gateway IP address, Weight, Volume, and Advanced Options.
  8. Click OK.
To edit WAN interface per-device mapping:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Click Create New in the content pane toolbar, or right-click and select Create New. The Create New WAN Interface page opens.
  4. Select a per device mapping then click Edit in the per-device mapping toolbar. The Edit Interface Member dialog-box opens.
  5. Edit the settings as required, then click OK.
To delete WAN interface per-device mappings:
  1. If using ADOMs, ensure that you are in the correct ADOM.
  2. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN > Interface Members.
  3. Click Create New in the content pane toolbar, or right-click and select Create New. The Create New WAN Interface page opens.
  4. Select one or more per device mapping, then click Delete in the per-device mapping toolbar.
  5. Click OK in the confirmation dialog box to delete the mapping or mappings.
