Automatically deleting and disabling CPE devices

In the CPE template or on the CPE device, you can specify the time after which the device must be 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.

When you specify automatic deletion or disabling time for the CPE template, that time is automatically applied to all devices that are using the template.

To configure automatic deletion and disabling CPE devices:

1. 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 template and in the displayed settings area, 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 device, and in the displayed settings area, select the Deactivation tab and select the Override check boxes.

   The automatic deletion and disabling settings of the CPE device are displayed.

2. Enable automatic CPE device deletion:
   1. Select the Enable check box next to the Delete timeout (sec.) field.
   2. In the Delete timeout (sec.) field, enter the time in seconds after which the CPE device must be 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.
3. Enable automatic CPE device disabling:
