Deploying Policies

You can deploy firewall, NAT, SD-WAN, and SSL proxy 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.

    • Use the deployment icon on the Customer Portal banner. For more information about deploying policies using the deployment icon, see Using the Deployment Icon to Deploy Policies.

      Note:

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

    • Select Configuration > Firewall > Firewall Policy. The Firewall Policy page appears, displaying the intents associated with the policy. Click Deploy.

    • Select Configuration > NAT > NAT Policies and select the NAT policy you want to deploy. Click Deploy.

    • Select Configuration > SSL Proxy > Policy. The SSL Proxy Policy page appears, displaying the intents associated with the policy. Click Deploy.

    • Select an SD-WAN policy intent on the SD-WAN Policy page and click Deploy.

  2. The Deploy page appears. 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.

Note:

If a tenant with the SD-WAN Advanced service selects an SLA or cloud-based profile for both SD-WAN Essentials and Advanced sites, the SD-WAN deploy job fails indicating the intents that failed for the SD-WAN Essentials sites. The intents are added to the SD-WAN Advanced sites.
