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.

On the General tab, enter basic information for the Site NameCity and Country for the site and click Next to proceed to configure circuits for the site.

Complete Site Name and Address (Using address search is recommended).

Enable Configure as a Branch Gateway site to convert an existing branch site to a branch gateway site. This provides the policy transit and LQM server capabilities of a data center site along with the visibility and path selection of a branch site.
On the Domain & Policies tab, select a Domain from the drop-down.

By default, a preset domain is displayed for a branch site.

  Ensure that the default Path Policy Stack, Performance Policy Stack, QoS Policy Stack, Security Policy Stack, and NAT Policy Stack are selected.
On the Circuits tab, click Add Circuits to add Internet Circuits and Private WAN Circuits.

By default, there are a few pre-defined configure circuits 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.
On the Devices tab, select Assign Devices and select from the available devices to assign or Create Device Shells to create up to 2 Device Shells to pre-provision and assign to the Data Center Site depending on your requirement. Click Save & Exit.
