Policy or Rule Changes and Bulk Copy

One important change in the SD WAN Portal is the requirement for each user: if they need to add or change a policy, they MUST lock the site by pressing the Edit Site button. This ensures that no other user can edit that site while changes are being made.

Any Traffic management policy, IP QoS, NetFlow or Firewall rules can be copied between sites of the same WAN and LAN configuration. The feature is available from the SD WAN Network page and is located at the bottom of the main view page as shown below. The bulk copy shows a history of the bulk copies and the details of each transaction can be viewed by clicking the view details button.

Bulk copies of rules can be created by selecting “+ New Process” button, note the site edit or locking does not need to be done for adding new Bulk Copy transactions. The adding a New Process starts the creation process by opening the following screen where the source of the rules can be selected. The type of rules available at the originating site are: traffic steering, Internet steering or Optimization, NetFlow, and for firewall the basic access control or advanced firewall including NAT, DDoS and IP QoS.
