Adding a CPE device

You need to add a CPE device if you are automatically registering it (ZTP). When adding a CPE device, you must specify the DPID so that it can be matched with the connected device. You can add a CPE device to the current SD-WAN instance, a tenant, or a different SD-WAN instance.

To add a CPE device:

1. Begin adding a CPE device in one of the following ways:
   • If you want to add a CPE device to the current SD-WAN instance, in the menu, go to the SD-WAN → CPE section and in the upper part of the page, click + CPE.
   • If you want to add a CPE device to a tenant, in the menu, go to the Tenants section, under Tenants, select the previously created tenant, and under CPEs, click + CPE.
   • If you want to add a CPE device to a different SD-WAN instance, navigate to the SD-WAN→SD-WAN instances subsection, click a previously deployed instance and in the upper part of the settings area, in the Actions section, click Create.
2. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the CPE device.
3. In the DPID field, enter the DPID of the CPE device.
4. In the State drop-down list, select the device state after registration:
   • Activated to apply a CPE template to the device and use it to relay traffic. Default value.
   • Deactivated to not apply a CPE template to the device.
5. If necessary, enter a brief description of the device in the Description field.
6. If you are adding a CPE device to an SD-WAN instance, in the Tenant drop-down list, select the tenant to which you want to assign the device. You can select a pool of SD-WAN instances or an individual instance from the pool.
7. If necessary, in the Customer tenant drop-down list, select a tenant for your client's organization.
8. If you want to create a UNI on the CPE device using a UNI template, in the UNI template drop-down list, select a previously created UNI template.
9. In the CPE template drop-down list, select the previously created CPE template which you want to use to configure the CPE device.
10. In the NetFlow template drop-down list, select the previously created NetFlow template that you want to use to configure basic NetFlow settings on the CPE device.
11. In the Firewall template drop-down list, select the previously created firewall template which you want to use to configure the firewall of the CPE device.
12. Click Next and specify the address of the CPE device location in the Address field. As you enter the address, you are prompted to select an address from a drop-down list.

    The address is displayed on the map.

13. Click Add.

The status of the device changes to Waiting and you get one of the following results:

• If you added the CPE device to the current SD-WAN instance, the device is displayed in the table.
• If you added the CPE device to a tenant, the device is displayed under CPEs.
• If you added the CPE device to a different SD-WAN instance, the orchestrator web interface of the instance is displayed in a new browser tab, and you are automatically logged in and taken to the CPE subsection. The CPE device is added to the table.
