In the CPE template or on the CPE device, you can specify the time after which the CPE device is deleted or disabled if the management session with the controller is terminated. Both functions are used to prevent theft of CPE devices. The automatic deletion function is also used to clean up obsolete entries from the orchestrator web interface. Both functions are disabled by default.
The automatic deletion or disabling time specified in a CPE template is automatically applied to all CPE devices that use this CPE template.
To configure automatic deletion and disabling of CPE devices:
Proceed to configure automatic deletion and disabling in one of the following ways:
If you want to configure automatic deletion and disabling in a CPE template, go to the SD-WAN → CPE templates menu section, click the CPE template and select the Deactivation tab.
If you want to configure automatic deletion and disabling on a CPE device, go to the SD-WAN → CPE menu section, click the CPE device, and select the Deactivation tab and select the Override check boxes.
The automatic deletion and disabling settings of the CPE device are displayed.
Enable automatic deletion of the CPE device:
Select the Enable check box next to the Delete timeout (sec.) field.
In the Delete timeout (sec.) field, enter the time in seconds after which the CPE device is deleted if communication with the controller is not possible. Range of values: 60 to 31,536,000. The entered value may not be lower than the value specified for the automatic disabling.
