Alternatively, you can select an existing device and click More > Enable/Disable SD-WAN Management from the Device Manager > Devices & Groups or SD-WAN Manager > Devices tables to enable or disable SD-WAN management for existing devices.
You can check the SD-WAN management status in the Managed by SD-WAN Manager column.
