Edge Management allows you to configure Edge Authentication and Configuration Updates. You can also select a default Software & Firmware Image.

  1. In the Enterprise portal, click Service Settings > Edge Management.
  2. You can configure the following options and click Save Changes.

Edge Authentication

Option Description
Default Certificate Choose the default option to authenticate the Edges associated to the Customer.
  • Certificate Acquire: This option instructs the Edge to acquire a certificate from the certificate authority of the SD-WAN Orchestrator, by generating a key pair and sending a certificate signing request to the Orchestrator. Once acquired, the Edge uses the certificate for authentication to the SD-WAN Orchestrator and for the establishment of VCMP tunnels.
    Note: Only after acquiring the certificate, the option can be updated to Certificate Required.
  • Certificate Deactivated: This option instructs the Edge to use a pre-shared key mode of authentication.
  • Certificate Required: This option is selected by default and it instructs the Edge to use the PKI certificate. Operators can change the certificate renewal time window for Edges using system properties. For more information, contact your Operator.
Note: On clicking Save Changes, you are asked to confirm if the selected Edge authentication setting is applicable to all the impacted Edges or only the new Edges. By default, Apply to all Edges check box is selected.
Edge Authentication Click the Activate Secure Edge Access button to allow the user to access Edges using Password-based or Key-based authentication. You can activate this option only once. But you can switch to either Password-based or Key-based authentication any number of times.
Configuration Updates
Option Description
Disable Edge Configuration Updates By default, this option is activated. This option allows you to actively push the configuration updates to Edges. Slide the toggle button to turn it Off.
Enable Configuration Updates Post-Upgrade By default, this option is deactivated. This option allows you to control when post-Orchestrator upgrade configuration changes are applied to their Edges. Slide the toggle button to turn it On.
