Step by Step Procedure

Refer to "Use Case 3" diagram where CloudMesh information is displayed in green.

Activating CloudMesh

1

Connect Branch Office 1 ip|engine WAN1 router interface to CloudMesh by checking the option.

2

Select the CloudMesh Edge which is closest to the ip|engine (Frankfurt). Note that Edge information is common to all the WAN interfaces of the ip|engines on the same Site, for which CloudMesh has been activated.

Eligible interfaces are WAN Router interfaces on hybrid or full router ip|engines.

3

Click Update.

4

Connect Branch Office 2 ip|engine WAN2 router interface to CloudMesh by checking the option.

5

Select the CloudMesh Edge which is closest to the ip|engine (London).

6

Click Update.

7

From the SD-WAN Orchestrator main menu, select Network -> Advanced Configuration and open the CloudMesh pane. Check the Overlay IP network address range and the AS Number that are used by the system for cloudmeshing; you cannot edit nor reuse these parameters.

Checking CloudMesh Connections

1

Verify whether the CloudMesh configuration is operational by checking that there are supervised connections in the CloudMesh Connections panel of the Supervision -> Overview dashboard.

For each connected WAN router interface, one tunnel is created; refer to Use Case 3 diagram. If CloudMesh connections are displayed in the 'Down' column, check the alarms raised for the configured CloudMesh ip|engine in the Active Alarms and Event History dashboards.

2

On the Supervision -> Tunnel Status dashboard, check that the CloudMesh tunnels are up.

3

On the Network -> Configuration window, click the icon for the appropriate ip|engine. In the displayed window, select Tunnels -> IPsec to analyze the details of the created CloudMesh tunnels.
