Devices visible in your inventory are available
for you to claim and then assign to sites. The claim process authenticates
and legitimizes the devices on each site. The devices come online
with enough knowledge to connect with the Prisma SD-WAN controller
in the appropriate customer context and start forwarding flows.
A
data center and the ION 3000, ION 7000 or 9000 are not required
for a simple deployment where you intend to simply monitor the network
and capture analytics in a branch, or actively control traffic between
private WAN and direct internet without VPNs. However, if you do
have a data center, claim the ION device at your data center as
follows:
- From the Prisma SD-WAN web interface, select .A list of unclaimed devices in your inventory is displayed.Add Filters to find the serial number of an unclaimed device in the Prisma-SD WAN web interface.Select the filter options.
