Field

Description

Add site to site Tunnel

Source site

Displays the name of the source site.

Destination site

Select the destination site from the list.

Delete Tunnel

Displays the threshold value (sessions closed) below which a tunnel is deleted between two sites.

Note:

Sites with SD-WAN Essentials service do not support creation or deletion of dynamic mesh tunnels based on a user-defined threshold for the number of sessions closed between two branch sites. However, an OpCo administrator or a tenant administrator can create a static tunnel between a source site and destination site.

Enable Threshold

By default, this toggle button is disabled. That is, even if the threshold value (sessions closed) is met, CSO does not delete mesh tunnels. You have to manually delete the mesh tunnel that you created.

Number of Sessions

Displays the number of sessions closed for 15 minutes.
