Using the SD-WAN overlay template

To use the SD-WAN overlay template:

1. Pre-configure your network and SD-WAN devices. See Template prerequisites and network planning.
2. Create an SD-WAN overlay template. See Configuring an SD-WAN overlay template.
3. Assign metadata variables to devices. The branch_id variable is automatically created by the template and each branch device must be assigned a unique value. Additional custom metadata variables can be used if required. See ADOM-level metadata variables.
4. Configure the SD-WAN rules to include the newly created overlays by creating or editing an SD-WAN template. See SD-WAN rules and SD-WAN templates.
5. Create the Policy Package for your branch and hub devices. See Managing policy packages.
6. Install the changes to SD-WAN devices using the Install Wizard. See Install wizard
7. (Optional) Edit the SD-WAN overlay template. See Editing the SD-WAN overlay template.
8. (Optional) Add new branch devices. See Onboarding new branch devices.
