Deploying Policies

You can deploy NAT, firewall, and SD-WAN policies added by various services immediately or schedule the deployment for a later date and time.

To configure a deployment:

  1. You can initiate the deployment of a policy in the following ways:
    • Select a policy from the Awaiting Deployment tab on the Deployments page and click Deploy.
    • Select a policy from the Scheduled tab on the Deployments page and click Deploy.
    • Select a policy from the Scheduled tab on the History page and click Re-Deploy.
    • Click on the deployment icon on the Customer Portal banner. Hover over a policy in the Awaiting Deployment tab; the Deploy option appears on the right side of the policy. Click Deploy to deploy the policy. For more information on the deployment panel, see Using the Deployment Icon to Deploy Policies.

      Note: The deployment icon is highlighted in orange if there are undeployed policies.

    • Click Configuration > Firewall > Firewall Policy. The Firewall Policy page appears, displaying the intent associated with the policy. Click Deploy. All intents associated with the firewall policy are deployed.
    • Click Configuration > NAT > NAT Policies and select the NAT policy you want to deploy. Click Deploy. All rules associated with that NAT policy are deployed.
    • Select an SD-WAN policy intent on the SD-WAN Policy page and click Deploy.
  2. In Choose Deployment Time options, select Run Now to deploy the policy immediately.

    Select Schedule at a later time to deploy the policy at a later date and time. For scheduling options, see Table 1.

  3. Click Deploy to deploy the policy immediately or schedule it for later deployment.
