Adding a Hub Device
You can use the Routers page to add a hub device to a specific point of presence (POP) in SD-WAN deployment with hub-and-spoke topology. The hub models that are supported are:
- MSP Hub—This hub can be shared by multiple tenants.
- Tenant Hub—This hub is specific to a tenant. You can add a tenant hub by logging in to Customer Portal and following the site creation procedure.
 | Note: You can use only an SRX Series Services Gateway as a hub device. |
Before You Begin

- Complete the configuration according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
