Step by Step Procedure

Refer to "Use Case 8" diagram where EdgeSentry information is displayed in green.

Activating EdgeSentry

1 In the General panel of the Branch Office 1 ip|engine (B01) Configuration window, select the EdgeSentry Region. It is the closest region to the ip|engine. Note that region information is common to all the WAN interfaces of the ip|engines on the same Site, for which EdgeSentry has been activated.

2 Connect B01 WAN1 router interface to EdgeSentry by checking the option. The EdgeSentry Region you selected in the previous step is automatically displayed.

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

3 Click Update.

Warning: The same WAN interface cannot be connected to EdgeSentry and to a Web Security Gateway at the same time.

Since this interface is also connected to a Zscaler Web Security Gateway (see "Use Case 9"), this configuration is automatically disabled when you activate EdgeSentry. If you disable EdgeSentry, the Web Security Gateway configuration is enabled again.

4 From the SD-WAN Orchestrator top menu, connect to the Cloud Security Partner's portal by selecting Network -> EdgeSentry Portal.
5 Configure Security Policies according to the procedure described in the Cloud Security Partner's documentation.
6 Define the traffic to forward to EdgeSentry through the wsg or wsg+ Internet Access Policies of the Zone-Based Firewall. Refer to "Internet Access Policies".
7 Click Update to validate the configuration.

Checking EdgeSentry Connections

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

For each connected WAN router interface, a primary connection and a secondary connection are created; refer to Use Case 8 diagram. If EdgeSentry connections are displayed in the 'Down' column, check the alarms raised for the configured EdgeSentry ip|engine in the Active Alarms and Event History dashboards.

2 On the Supervision -> Tunnel Status dashboard, check that the EdgeSentry 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 EdgeSentry tunnels.
