Registering a CPE device

If a CPE device connects to the orchestrator and cannot be mapped to any of entries you created, the device must be registered. When registering a CPE device, connecting to the vendor's cloud services is not necessary.

To register a CPE device:

1. In the menu, go to the SD-WAN section.

   By default, the CPE subsection is displayed with a table of CPE devices.

2. Click the CPE device.

   The settings area is displayed in the lower part of the page. You can expand the settings area to fill the entire page by clicking the expand button .

3. In the upper part of the settings area, under Actions click Register.
4. In the State drop-down list, select the device state after registration:
   • Activated to apply the configuration of the CPE template to the device. An activated device can be connected to transport services and used to transmit traffic. This is the default setting.
   • Deactivated to not apply the configuration of the CPE template to the device. You can make local changes to the device configuration before activating it.
5. If necessary, enter a brief description of the device in the Description field.
6. Under Tenant, select the main tenant. You can select a pool of SD-WAN instances or an individual instance from the pool.
7. If necessary, in the Customer tenant section, select a tenant for your client's organization.
8. If necessary, in the UNI template section, select an UNI template to create the UNIs contained in the template on the device.
9. Under CPE template, select a CPE template to configure the device in accordance with the configuration of that template.
10. 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.

11. Click Register.

The CPE device status changes first to Registering, then to Registered.

Your subsequent actions depend on the value selected in the State drop-down list:

• If you selected Activated, you can use the device to relay traffic.
• If you selected Deactivated, you must configure the device, then activate it, and only then can you use it to transmit traffic.
