Add a Branch
As you may already know, having multiple branches within an enterprise network can be a
complex task. However, with our platform, the process becomes simpler and more efficient.
An enterprise can have one or more branches within a network. When you create a
branch, you can select a default domain and set of policy rules and configure WAN
networks, circuit categories, circuit labels, and circuit specifications.
