Adding Path-Based Steering Profiles

You can use the Add Path Profile page to add a new path-based steering profile, and specify the traffic type profile, path preference, and advanced configuration for the profile.

To add a path-based steering profile to the tenant:

  1. Select Configuration > SD-WAN > Path-Based Steering Profiles.

    The Path-Based Steering Profiles page appears.

  2. Click the add (+) icon.

    The Add Path Profile page appears.

  3. Enter the path-based steering profile information according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
    Note:

    Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

  4. Click OK .

    You are returned to the Path-Based Steering Profiles page and a confirmation message indicating that the path-based steering profile was added is displayed. The page refreshes to display the path-based steering profile that you added.

    Note:

    After you add a path-based steering profile, you must add an SD-WAN policy intent that references the path-based steering profile in order to enable site-to-site traffic.

Enter the maximum burst size (in bytes).

Range: 1 through 1,342,177,280 bytes

Maximum Downstream Rate
