Manage Operator Profiles with New Orchestrator UI

An Operator Profile is used to specify the network settings managed by SD-WAN Orchestrator. After you create a Customer or Partner, you can assign an Operator profile to them.

With the 5.1.0 release, Operators can upload, modify, or delete the following firmware and factory images in the new Orchestrator UI:

• Firmware Platform images for 6X0 Edge device models and 3X00 Edge device models (3400/3800/3810)
• Firmware Modem images for 510-LTE (Edge 510LTE-AE, Edge 510LTE-AP) and 610-LTE (Edge 610LTE-AM, Edge 61LTE-RW)
• Factory images for all physical SD-WAN Edge devices

Note: Operators can upload, modify, or delete software images for all Edge devices from both, the Classic Orchestrator UI and the New Orchestrator UI.

See Platform Firmware and Factory Images with New Orchestrator UI for more information.

4. You can configure the existing settings of the selected Profile:

   Option	Description
   Profile Settings
   Name	Edit the existing name of the Operator Profile.
   Description	Edit the existing description of the Operator Profile.
   Management Settings
   Orchestrator Address	Choose to use either FQDN or IP address as the Orchestrator Address. If you select FQDN, enter the FQDN address.
   Orchestrator IPv4 Address	Enter the IPv4 address to be used as Orchestrator Address.
   Orchestrator IPv6 Address	Enter the IPv6 address to be used as Orchestrator Address.
   Heartbeat Interval (s)	Displays the time interval between the heartbeat messages sent from the SD-WAN Orchestrator to SD-WAN Edges. The default value is 30 seconds and minimum interval must 10 seconds. If an SD-WAN Edge does not receive two heartbeats continuously, then the SD-WAN Edge is marked as Down. Note: When you modify the heartbeat interval, make sure to update the SD-WAN Edge Offline Alert Notification Delay time accordingly, to avoid sending unnecessary alerts.
   Time Slice Interval (s)	Displays the time interval over which the monitoring data is collected for a flow. The default value is 300 seconds.
   Stats Upload Interval (s)	Displays the time interval for uploading the monitoring data. All the data for each Timeslice is collected during the Stats Upload Interval and then uploaded. The default value is 300 seconds.
   Gateway Selection
   Gateway Mode	By default, the SD-WAN Gateway selection is Dynamic and the VMware SD-WAN Gateways are chosen dynamically from the SD-WAN Gateway Pool. Ensure that the SD-WAN Gateway Pool consists of at least two VMware SD-WAN Gateways, for the SD-WAN Gateway selection to be efficient. Select the check box to make the SD-WAN Gateway selection as Static. For the Static SD-WAN Gateway selection, you must specify the Primary SD-WAN Gateway. You can also enter an optional Secondary SD-WAN Gateway. Note: Use the Static SD-WAN Gateway Selection only for testing or debugging purposes. You must not use this option for SD-WAN Edge-to- SD-WAN Edge VPN or Partner handoff configurations.
   Application Map Assignment
   JSON File	By default, the initial Application Map is assigned to the Operator Profile. You can choose a different Application Map from the drop-down list. For more information, see Application Maps.
   Software Version: You can choose to push the latest Software Image to the SD-WAN Edges. By default, no updates are applied to the devices. Activate the toggle button to display the following fields.
   Version	Choose the Software Image from the drop-down list. For more information on the Software Images, see Software Images.
   Update Duration	Select the Update Duration check box, and then enter the duration time in minutes. When you activate this option, the SD-WAN Orchestrator updates all the devices associated with the Enterprise customer within the specified time duration.
   Firmware Version Note: This section is available only for Edge versions 5.0.0 and above. This section is activated only when we deactivate the Software Version section.
