Configuring branch interfaces

You can use basic SD-WAN configurations on the branches to test ADVPN.

To configure the branch interface members:
  1. Go to Device Manager > SD-WAN.
  2. In the tree menu, click Interface Members.
  3. In the toolbar, click Create New.

    Create the following interface members:

    • OL_MPLS
    • OL_INET
    • port2
    • port3

  4. Configure the interface settings keeping the following considerations in mind:
    Property

    Description
    Gateway Make sure to specify the remote gateway for the overlay interfaces.
    Default interface Make sure to specify the suffix _0 for OL_MPLS and OL_INET. For example, OL_MPLS_0 and OL_INET_0.
    Per-Device Mapping Toggle ON.

    Advanced Options

    Priority

    Make sure to specify the priority for the OL_MPLS and OL_INET interfaces is higher than port2 and port3.

    This will redirect the traffic that does not match an SD-WAN rule to the underlays in port2 and port3, instead of using ECMP for all the interface members of the SD-WAN.
