Enterprise Admins can provision a single Edge or multiple Edges, such as assigning a Profile configuration to an Edge or changing other Edge specific parameters. You must create a configuration for every Edge you will deploy to a specific site.

You can provision a new edge from the Edges screen by performing the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise portal, click Configure > Edges.
  2. In the Edges screen, click New Edge at the top-right corner of the screen.
    The Provision New Edge dialog box appears.
  3. In the Name textbox, enter a unique name for the Edge.
  4. From the Model drop-down menu, select an Edge model.
    Note: Starting from the 3.4 release, Edge 510-LTE is supported and can be provisioned.
  5. From the Profile drop-down menu, select a profile to be assigned to the Edge.
    • If an Edge Staging Profile is displayed as an option due to push activation, this profile is used by a newly assigned Edge, but has not been configured with a production Profile.
    • If a customer has a Network-based Operator Profile, then the customer can only provision Network-based Edges. In addition, if a customer has a Segment-based Operator Profile, then the customer can only provision Segment-based Edges. (For more information about Profile migration see, Network to Segment Migration. For more information about how to create a new profile, see the Configure Profiles section titled, Create a Profile).
  6. From the Authentication drop-down menu, select one of the following options: Certificate Disabled, Certificate Optional, and Certificate Required for certificate-based authentication.
  7. In the Custom Info textbox, enter custom information associated with the edge
    . Customer information must not exceed 255 characters.
    Note: Super User and Standard Admin users of Enterprise/MSP/Operator roles (with UPDATE_EDGE privilege) can add or update the Custom Info for an edge.
  8. To apply High Availability (HA), select the High Availability checkbox. (Edges can be installed as a single standalone device or paired with another Edge to provide High Availability (HA) support. For more information about HA, see the High Availability Options section).
  9. In the Serial Number textbox, enter the serial number of the Edge . If specified, the serial number must match the serial number of the Edge that will be activated.
  10. In the Contact Name and Contact Email textboxes, enter the name and email address of the site contact for the Edge.
  11. Click the Set Location link to set the location of the Edge.
  12. Click Create.

Results

The Edge gets provisioned with an activation key.
Note: The activation key expires in one month if the Edge device is not activated against it. For information on how to activate an Edge see the Configure Edge Activation section in the Edge Activation Quick Start Guide.

What to do next

After you click Create, the Edge Overview screen appears showing the Edge activation key at the top of the screen. To see an overview of the Edge you just created, or to make any changes to it, see the Edge Overview Tab section.

After you have provisioned the edge, you can perform the following actions using the Actions drop-down menu:
  • New Edge - Creates a new edge.
  • Local Credentials - Assign local configuration credentials for the selected edge.
  • Delete Edge - Deletes the selected edges.
  • Assign Profile - Change the profile for the selected edges.

    Note: Superuser Administrators and Standard Administrators can assign a license type to an edge.
  • Update Customer Alerts - Enable or disable edge alert notifications for Customers.
  • Rebalance Gateways - Rebalance SD-WAN hosted Gateways across the Enterprise edge.
    Note: This option is available only for Operator users.

Edge Troubleshooting

For the 3.4 release, if you configure the Edge 510 LTE device, you can run the “LTE Modem Information” diagnostic test. The LTE Modem Information diagnostic test will retrieve diagnostic information, such as signal strength, connection information, etc. For information on how to run a diagnostic test, see section titled, Remote Diagnostics
