Configuring Breakout on SD-WAN Sites

The following is the workflow for configuring breakout (local breakout [underlay], backhaul [central breakout], or cloud breakout):

  1. Before configuring breakout, ensure that you complete the following tasks:
    1. If you are using enterprise hub sites, add, configure, and activate one or more enterprise hub sites. See Add Enterprise Hubs with SD-WAN Capability .
    2. Add, configure, and activate one or more branch sites with SD-WAN capability. See Add a Branch Site with SD-WAN Capability.
      Note:

      You must attach a branch site with SDWAN capability to a provider hub site or an enterprise hub site, or to both hub sites.

    3. (Optional) If you are using application-based breakout, ensure that you install the application ID license (if it is required for the device) and signatures on the devices (associated with the sites).
  2. Depending on the type of breakout you are configuring, add one or more breakout profiles for the following types of breakout:

    • Local breakout (underlay)

    • Backhaul (central breakout)

    • Cloud breakout

    See Adding Breakout Profiles.

  3. For cloud breakout, add cloud breakout settings and then assign the cloud breakout settings to one or more branch or enterprise hub sites. See Adding Cloud Breakout Settings and Assigning Cloud Breakout Settings to Sites.
  4. Add one or more SD-WAN policy intents in which you reference the previously-added breakout profiles. See Creating SD-WAN Policy Intents.
  5. Deploy the SD-WAN policy. See Deploying Policies.
  6. Configure firewall policy intents to allow Internet-bound traffic from the sites or departments for which you configured breakout (through the SD-WAN policy intent). See Adding Firewall Policy Intents.
  7. Deploy the firewall policy. See Deploying Policies.
  8. For cloud breakout using Zscaler, ensure that the user IDs in the Zscaler account are configured as follows:

    • Site-Name.primary.1@Tenant-Name.com for the primary tunnel

    • Site-Name.backup.1@Tenant-Name.com for the secondary tunnel

    Where Site-Name is the name of the site (in CSO) for which the breakout is configured and Tenant-Name is the name of the tenant (in CSO) to which the site belongs.
