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.
  1. Select WorkflowsSitesAdd Site.
    1. Enter basic information for the site and click Next.
  2. Configure the Type of site.
    1. Select Branch to configure a branch site and click Next.
    2. Select a Domain from the drop-down.
      By default, a preset domain is displayed for a branch site.
    3. Click Associate Branch With Default Data Center Cluster to associate the newly created branch with the default cluster. It will be checked (by default) and unchecked to choose a different cluster from the list.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Configure Policies.
    Ensure that the default Path Policy Set Stack, QoS Policy Set Stack, and NAT Policy Set Stack are selected.
  5. Configure circuits for the site and click Next.
    Circuit categories are used in policy rules to identify paths allowed for an application. By default, there are a few pre-defined circuit categories in the system that you may use when you configure the site. You can edit these labels or rename any of the remaining categories through Circuit Categories under Stacked Policies or Network Policies (Original).
  6. Click Save & Exit.
    The Summary of the newly added branch will display for your review.
