      Option Description
      Default Edge Authentication

      Choose the default option to authenticate the Edges associated to the customer, from the drop-down list.

      • Certificate Deactivated: Edge uses a pre-shared key mode of authentication.
      • Certificate Acquire: This option is selected by default and 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 establishment of VCMP tunnels.
        Note: After acquiring the certificate, the option can be updated to Certificate Required.
      • Certificate Required: Edge uses the PKI certificate. Operators can change the certificate renewal time window for Edges using the system property edge.certificate.renewal.window.
      Edge Licensing The existing Edge Licenses are displayed. Click Modify to add or remove the licenses.
      Note: The license types can be used on multiple Edges. It is recommended to provide your customers with access to all types of licenses to match their edition and region.
