Starting from the 5.1.0 release, the procedure to sign-up for Edge Auto-activation has completely changed. You need not activate it from System Settings anymore. To sign-up for Edge Auto-activation, follow the below steps:

Prerequisites

  • As an Enterprise Super User, ensure that you have a valid Subscription Identifier (SID) that was received on booking Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) orders. If you do not have a valid SID, contact VMware Customer Support.
  • Outbound internet connectivity via DHCP is required to complete the push activation successfully.

Procedure

  1. In the SD-WAN service of the Enterprise portal, click Service Settings > Edge Auto-activation.
  2. Click Request Auto Activation. Enter the Subscription ID (SID), and then click the Request Auto-Activation button at the bottom of the pop-up window.
    Note: You are required to enter the Subscription ID (SID) only when you login for the first time. You can access Edge Auto-activation only after the successful validation of SID. The validation process may take up to 3 to 5 days. If you enter an incorrect SID, you must contact the customer support team to get it changed.

What to do next

You must assign a profile and a license to the Edges. For instructions, see Assign Profile and License to Edges.
