Overview of SD-WAN Prerequisites

With Orchestrator, you create virtual network overlays to apply business intent to network segments. Provisioning a device is managed by applying profiles.

  • Interface Labels associate each interface with a use.

    • LANlabels refer to traffic type, such asVoIP,data, orreplication.

    • WANlabels refer to the service or connection type, such asMPLS,internet, orVerizon.

  • Deployment Profilesconfigure the interfaces and map the labels to them, to characterize the appliance.

  • Business Intent Overlaysuse the Labels specified in Deployment Profiles to define how traffic is routed and optimized between sites. These overlays can specify preferred paths and can link bonding policies based onapplication,VLAN, orsubnet, independent of the brand and physical routing attributes of the underlay.

Including a new appliance into the SD-WAN fabric consists of two basic steps:

  1. Registration and discovery.After youAcceptthe discovered appliance, theConfiguration Wizardopens.

  2. Provisioning.Because the wizard prompts you to select profiles, it is easier to create these ahead of time.

The following figure shows the process of installing and provisioning an appliance for SD-WAN.
