Adding the dynamic interfaces to map underlay interfaces

Adding the dynamic interfaces to map underlay interfaces

Create dynamic interfaces to map the overlay with the underlay topologies. Interface mapping allows the new interface to be used when creating policies.

Create the following dynamic interfaces:

  • OL_INET_0
  • OL_MPLS_0
  • Port10
  • Port2
  • Port3
To create a dynamic interface:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Object Configurations.
  2. In the tree menu, select Zone/Interface > Interface.
  3. In the toolbar, click Create New > Dynamic interface.
  4. Enter a name and description for the dynamic interface.
  5. Enable Per-Device Mapping.
  6. Click Create New. The Per-Device Mapping dialog box is displayed.
    1. Select a Mapped Devicefrom the dropdown.
    2. Select a Device Interface from the dropdown.
    3. Repeat these steps for all of the hub and branch devices.
  7. Click OK to create the new dynamic interface object.

    The mapped interface can now be used when creating policies.
