Adding a transport service in a CPE template

You can add transport services in the configuration of a CPE template and then apply the template to devices. In this case, service interfaces for connecting to the added transport services are automatically created on top of the OpenFlow interfaces that correspond to the LAN interfaces of CPE devices to which the template is applied. In this way, you avoid the need to create service interfaces manually and individually connect each CPE device to transport services.

Before adding a transport service to the CPE template configuration, you must complete the following steps:

• Create a transport service in the SD-WAN Controller configuration menu.
• Create a QoS rule.

Note that all settings must match the previously created transport service. For example, you must use the same name and type.

To add a transport service in the CPE template:

1. In the menu, go to the SD-WAN → CPE templates subsection.

   A table of CPE templates is displayed.

2. Click the CPE template.

   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. Select the Transport services tab.

   A table of transport services is displayed.

4. Click + Transport service.
5. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the transport service.
6. In the QoS name field, enter the name of the previously created QoS rule that is used in the transport service.
7. In the Stage drop-down list, select the state of the CPE device in which you want to add the service interface to the transport service.
   • Before activation — The service interface is added to the transport service before activating the CPE device. This is the default setting.
   • After activation — The service interface is added to the transport service after activating the CPE device.
8. In the Type drop-down list, select one of the following values:
   • P2M
   • M2M
   • L3 VPN
9. In the Encapsulation drop-down list, select the type of encapsulation on the service interface:
   • Access (selected by default).
   • VLAN
   • Q-in-Q
10. If in the Encapsulation drop-down list, you selected VLAN, in the VLAN ID field, enter the outer VLAN tag. Range of values: 1 to 4094.
11. If in the Encapsulation drop-down list, you selected Q-in-Q, follow these steps:
    1. In the VLAN ID field, enter the outer VLAN tag. Range of values: 1 to 4094.
    2. In the Inner VLAN ID field, enter the inner VLAN tag. Range of values: 1 to 4094.
12. If in the Type drop-down list, you selected P2M, in the Role drop-down list, select the role of the service interface:
    • Leaf is a service interface that can send traffic only to interfaces with the Root role.
    • Root is a service interface that can send traffic to interfaces with any role. At least one service interface must be assigned this role.
13. If in the Type drop-down list, you selected L3VPN, follow these steps:
    1. In the IP address field, enter the IP address.
    2. In the Mask field, enter the subnet mask. Range of values: 0 to 32.
14. Click Create.

    The transport service is created and displayed in the table.

15. In the upper part of the settings area, click Save to save the configuration of the CPE template.
