Creating a Manual-TE constraint

Before creating a Manual-TE constraint, you must create Manual-TE paths.

To create a Manual-TE constraint:

1. In the menu, go to the Infrastructure section.

   This opens the resource management page. By default, the Network resources tab is selected, which displays the table of SD-WAN and SDN Controllers.

2. Click Management → Configuration menu next to the SD-WAN Controller.

   This opens the Controller configuration menu. By default, you are taken to the Controller nodes section, which displays a table of Controller nodes.

3. Go to the Constraints section.

   A table of Manual-TE constraints is displayed.

4. In the upper part of the page, click + Manual-TE constraint.
5. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the Manual-TE constraint.
6. Select the Use Manual-TE path check box next to the Manual-TE paths that you want to add to the constraint. By default, the check boxes are cleared and no paths are added to the constraint.
7. To allow an Auto-SPF path to be used when no Manual-TE paths are available, select the Ignore if no constrained path is found check box next to the relevant Manual-TE paths. The check box can be selected only for paths that have the Use Manual-TE path check box selected. By default, the check boxes are cleared and Auto-SPF cannot be used as an alternative for all paths.
8. Click Create.

The Manual-TE constraint is created and displayed in the table.

Now you can specify the Manual-TE constraint in transport service settings to add Manual-TE paths contained in the constraint to the transport service.
