Add Enterprise Hub Sites
Unlike provider hubs, which can be shared by different tenants, an enterprise hub is available only to a single tenant. An enterprise hub is an SD-WAN site that is used to connect all the branch sites (spokes) in the hub and spoke topology and to break out backhaul (also called central breakout) traffic from branch sites. An enterprise hub typically has a data center department behind it; however, this is not enforced in CSO.
Starting in CSO Release 6.0.0, in SD-WAN deployments, using hubs to connect sites is optional.
For more information, see Enterprise Hubs Overview in the CSO Customer Portal User Guide (available on the CSO Documentation page).
Before you add the enterprise hub site, check the cable connections, review the NAT and firewall ports and protocols, and check the Junos OS version of the enterprise hub device, as explained in Supported Devices for SD-WAN, and Ports and Protocols to Open.
To add an enterprise hub site:
After the site is activated, CSO applies the service provisioning configuration if you selected a service when adding the site. If you did not select a service, then the status of the site remains as Managed. You can edit the site later to add the service and provision the device.
After you provision a site, you can modify (depending on the site status) certain parameters of the site. For more information, see Edit Site Overview in the CSO Customer Portal User Guide (available on the CSO Documentation page).
Field |
Guideline |
---|---|
Site Information |
|
Site Name |
Enter a unique name for the site. The name can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-), and cannot exceed 32 characters. |
Device Host Name |
The device host name is auto-generated and uses the format tenant-name.host-name. You cannot change the tenant-name part in the device host name. Use alphanumeric characters and hyphen (-); the maximum length allowed is 32 characters. |
Site Group |
If you want the site to be part of a site group, select the site group. By default, None is selected, which means that the site doesn’t belong to any site group. |
Site Capabilities |
Note:
Device Management, enabled by default, allows you to create a site with only device management capability (without any services) and add services later. To add an SD-WAN capability for this site, choose one of the following SD-WAN service types:
|
Address and Contact Information |
Enter the address and contact information in the fields provided. Although it is not mandatory, providing an address lets you visualize where the site is located on a geographical map on the Monitor Overview page. |
Advanced Configuration |
For the DNS and NTP servers, you can either use the defaults or specify DNS and NTP servers. |
Domain Name Server |
If needed, specify the IPv4 or IPv6, or both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of one or more DNS servers. |
NTP Server |
If needed, specify the IP addresses of one or more NTP servers. |
Select Timezone |
Select a time zone for the site. |
Field |
Guideline |
---|---|
Device Redundancy |
Disabled by default. Enable this option only for dual CPEs. |
Device Series |
Displays SRX as the device series (family). You cannot modify this field because only certain SRX Series devices can be configured as enterprise hubs. |
Device Model |
Select the SRX model. |
[Device Template] |
Ensure that you select the correct device template from the carousel; the template depends on the device that you are using as the enterprise hub. For example, for an SRX4100 device, select SRX4x00 as SD-WAN CPE (or a modified version of that template) as the device template. |
Device Information |
Note:
If you enabled Device Redundancy, additional fields are displayed. For more information, see Add Enterprise Hubs with SD-WAN Capability in the CSO Customer Portal User Guide (available on the CSO Documentation page). |
Serial Number |
If you want CSO to proceed with the site activation immediately after you complete the site addition workflow, enter the serial number. If the serial number that you entered is already present in the system, CSO displays an error message. If the serial number is not present, then CSO displays a green check mark. If you want CSO to only model the site, leave this field blank. If you don’t enter a serial number, you must manually activate the site later. |
Device Root Password |
The default root password is fetched from the ENC _ROOT_PASSWORD field in the device template. You can retain the password or change it by entering a password in plain-text format. The password is encrypted and stored on the device. |
Zero Touch Provisioning |
By default, Zero Touch Provisioning is enabled. If you want to disable ZTP, click the toggle button. Note:
By default, this button is disabled for vSRX. You can enable this button, if the Junos OS version running on vSRX supports phone-home client. To use ZTP, ensure the following:
If ZTP is enabled, the Boot Image field is displayed and you must select an image that supports the Phone-Home client. During ZTP, the image on the firewall device is upgraded to the image that you select for the Boot Image. If you disable ZTP, you must copy the stage-1 configuration from CSO and commit it on the device. Use any of the following options to copy the stage-1 configuration:
|
Is Cluster Already Formed? |
Note:
This field is available only for SRX dual CPE devices. Click the toggle button to specify whether the SRX cluster has been manually formed (Yes) or not (No). |
Cluster ID |
Note:
This field is available only for SRX dual CPE devices. If the SRX cluster hasn’t been formed manually, specify a unique ID for the cluster. Range: 1 through 15 If you’ve enabled ZTP for the site, the cluster is automatically formed when the site is activated. If you’ve disabled ZTP, the following processes are displayed on the Site Activation Progress page (that appears after you’ve added the branch site):
After the cluster is detected, CSO executes the bootstrap and provisioning processes and completes provisioning the cluster. |
Auto Activate |
Click the toggle button to specify whether the site activation requires an activation code or not:
|
Boot Image |
If you want to upgrade the enterprise hub device with the latest supported Junos OS version, select the boot image from the list. The boot image is used to upgrade the device when CSO starts the zero touch provisioning (ZTP) process. If you don't specify a boot image, which is the default option (Use Image on Device) in the list, then the CSO skips the procedure to upgrade the device during ZTP. |
Management Interface Family |
Select the IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6) for the management interface. This field is displayed only if you have enabled Zero Touch Provisioning. |
Management Connectivity Note:
This section is displayed only if you disable Zero Touch Provisioning. |
|
Address Family |
Select the IP address type (IPv4 or IPv6). |
Interface Name |
Enter the management interface. |
Access Type |
Select the access type for the underlay link. LTE, ADSL, and VDSL access types are supported only on Internet links. You cannot add LTE, ADSL, and VDSL access types to the same WAN link. |
Address assignment |
DHCP is selected by default. If you want to provide a static IP address, select STATIC. |
Management VLAN ID |
Enter a VLAN ID for the WAN link. |
PPPoE |
Click the toggle button to enable authenticated address assignment for the WAN link by using PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). |
Hub Configuration Note:
Hub selection is optional for both SD-WAN Advanced and Essentials sites. SD-WAN Essentials sites do not support multihoming. |
|
Primary Provider Hub |
If you previously added provider hub sites (DATA or OAM and DATA capability) for the tenant and want to have a backup for the enterprise hub, select a provider hub site as the primary provider hub. |
Secondary Provider Hub |
Note:
Not applicable to sites with SD-WAN Essentials service. If you previously added provider hub sites (DATA or OAM and DATA capability) for the tenant and want provider hub redundancy, select another provider hub as the secondary provider hub. |
WAN Links |
You can configure a maximum of four WAN links and must configure at least one WAN link. |
WAN_0 (WAN-Interface-Name) |
The first WAN link is enabled by default. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be configured to proceed. |
Link Type |
For the first WAN link, we use the default (Internet) for the underlay network type to ensure reachability to the redirect server. |
Egress Bandwidth |
Enter the maximum egress bandwidth (in megabits per second [Mbps]) that is allowed for the WAN link. |
Underlay Address Families |
|
IPv4 |
By default, IPv4 address assignment is enabled for the WAN link. The WAN link requires an IPv4 address to connect to an IPv4 network. |
Address Assignment Method |
Displays the method of assigning an IPv4 address to the WAN link (STATIC). You cannot modify this field. You must provide the IPv4 address prefix and the gateway IPv4 address for the WAN link. |
Static IP Prefix |
Enter the IPv4 address prefix of the WAN link. |
Gateway IP Address |
Enter the IPv4 address of the gateway of the WAN service provider. |
MTU | Applicable only to IPv4 addresses. Enter the maximum transmission unit (MTU) size for the media or protocol. The supported MTU range can vary depending on the device, interface type, network topology, and other individual requirements. See also: MTU Default and Maximum Values and LTE Mini Physical Interface Modules (LTE Mini-PIM).Editing the MTU values of all the OAM-enabled WAN links of a site at the same time might result in tunnel flapping. You must ensure that at least one OAM-enabled WAN link always remains undisrupted for a site. For example, if you have a site with four WAN links (including two links that support OAM traffic), you can edit the MTU values of all the WAN links except one OAM-enabled link at the same time. After the edit is complete and the changes are saved, you can edit the site again and update the remaining WAN link. Note:
If you enable the PPPoE/PPP option under a WAN link, the MTU option is displayed under the PPPoE/PPP Settings section for that link. |
Public IP Address |
Note:
You should provide a public IP address only if the static IP prefix is a private IP address and 1:1 NAT is configured. Enter the public IPv4 address for the link, if needed. |
Advanced Settings |
|
Advanced Settings |
|
Address Family (Tunnel Creation) |
Displays the underlay address family (IPv4) that is used to establish the overlay tunnel. |
Provider |
Enter the name of the WAN link’s service provider. |
Cost/Month |
Leave this as the default because this field is currently not used in CSO. |
Enable Local Breakout |
Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link to be used for local breakout. The toggle button is disabled by default, which means that the WAN link cannot be used for local breakout. Local breakout is an SD-WAN feature that enables Internet links to break out traffic directly from a site. For example, if you want to provide guests who visit your enterprise with Internet access, you can use local breakout to break out guest traffic locally from the site directly to the Internet. Note:
If you enable local breakout, this only means that the WAN link can be used for local breakout. To enable traffic to break out from the site, you must also configure a breakout profile, reference that profile in an SD-WAN policy intent, and deploy the SD-WAN policy. If you enable local breakout, additional fields appear. |
Breakout Options |
This field is displayed only if local breakout is enabled for the WAN link. Select whether you want to use the WAN link for both breakout and WAN traffic (default) or only for breakout traffic. |
Autocreate Source NAT Rule |
Note:
Sites with Secure SD-WAN Essentials service support interface-based source NAT rules only. If you enable this options for an SD-WAN Essentials site, interface-based source NAT rules are automatically applied. If you enable this options for an SD-WAN Advanced site, you must select a source NAT rule from the Translation field. This field is displayed only if local breakout is enabled for the WAN link. When you enable local breakout on a link, this setting is enabled by default, which triggers automatic creation of source NAT rules for the site. You can click the toggle button to disable the automatic creation of source NAT rules. If you disable this field, then you must manually add a source NAT rule for local breakout and deploy the NAT policy on the site. Note:
If NAT is not enforced by a separate device in your network (for example, an Internet gateway firewall), then we recommend that you enable this setting because it allows CSO to automatically create a NAT policy for the site. Table 5 explains how source NAT rules are automatically created on the WAN link. The automatically-created source NAT rules are implicitly defined and applied to the site and is not visible on the NAT Policies page. Note:
You can manually override automatically created NAT rules, by creating a NAT rule, which is placed at a higher priority than the automatically created NAT rule |
Translation |
This field is displayed only if the automatic creation of source NAT rules is enabled for the WAN link, and the SD-WAN service used is Advanced. Sites with Secure SD-WAN Essentials service support interface-based source NAT rules only. Select the type of NAT to use for the traffic on the WAN link:
|
IP Addresses |
For pool-based NAT, enter one or more IP addresses, subnets, or an IP address range. Separate multiple IP addresses by using commas and use a hyphen to denote a range; for example, 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.50. Note:
No NAT is performed for tenant-owned public IP addresses that were added during the tenant addition workflow. |
Preferred Breakout Link |
if the WAN link is enabled for local breakout, click the toggle button to enable the WAN link as the most preferred breakout link. If you disable this option, then the breakout link is chosen using ECMP (equal-cost multipath) from the available breakout links. |
BGP Underlay Options |
Note:
Not applicable to sites with SD-WAN Essentials service. Note:
BGP underlay routing is typically used by service providers, and can be configured only if local breakout is enabled for the WAN link. Click the toggle button to enable BGP underlay routing. When you enable BGP underlay routing, route advertisements to the primary Provider Edge (PE) node and, if configured, the secondary PE node occur as follows:
Note:
If underlay BGP is enabled for a WAN link, then the routes learnt from BGP are installed for local breakout; CSO does not generate the static default route. |
Primary Neighbor |
Displays the IP address that you entered for the gateway for the WAN link. |
Secondary Neighbor |
If you want to provide PE resiliency, you can configure a secondary PE node. Enter the IP address of the secondary PE node. Note:
If the primary PE node goes down, then the secondary PE is used as the next hop. When the primary PE comes back up, the route next hops are changed to the primary PE. |
eBGP Peer-AS-Number |
Enter the autonomous system (AS) number for the external (EBGP) peer. Note:
If the peer AS number is not configured or the peer AS number that is configured is the same as that of the CPE site, then the BGP type is assumed to be internal BGP (IBGP). |
Local AS Number |
Enter the local AS number for the WAN link. When you configure this parameter, the local AS number is used for eBGP peering instead of the global AS number configured for the device. |
Authentication |
Select the BGP route authentication method to be used:
|
Auth Key |
If you specified that MD5 should be used for authentication, specify an MD5 authentication key (password), which is used to verify the authenticity of BGP packets. |
Advertise Public LAN Prefixes |
Click the toggle button to enable the advertisement of public LAN prefixes. This field is disabled by default. If the tenant has a public IP address pool configured and you enable the advertisement of public LAN prefixes, then for LAN segments that are created with a subnet that falls under the tenant public IP address pool, CSO advertises the LAN subnet to the BGP underlay. Note:
When public LAN advertisement is enabled for the WAN link, public LAN prefixes are advertised through the BGP underlay towards MPLS or the Internet. |
Use for Fullmesh |
Click the toggle button to enable the WAN link to be part of a full mesh topology. A site can have all WAN links enabled for meshing. Note:
Configure the two additional fields that appear: |
Mesh Overlay Link Type |
If the WAN link is enabled for full mesh, select the type of encapsulation to be used for the overlay tunnels in the full mesh topology: Note:
For links with public IP addresses, we recommend that you use GRE over IPsec as the mesh overlay link type.
|
Mesh Tag |
Select one or more mesh tags for the WAN link. Note:
The tunnels between the enterprise hub site and the branch site are added based on matching mesh tags. So, if you want meshing to take place between a WAN link on the enterprise hub and a WAN link on the branch site, the mesh tags must be the same for both sites. For more information about mesh tags, see Mesh Tags Overview in the CSO Customer Portal User Guide (available on the CSO Documentation page). |
Use for OAM traffic |
Click the toggle button to enable the use of the WAN link for Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) traffic. The WAN link is then used to establish an OAM tunnel for communication between the enterprise hub site and CSO. Note:
To ensure redundancy, we recommend that you configure at least two WAN links that can be used for OAM traffic. In addition, for added management redundancy, use two links with different transport paths. |
Connects to Hubs |
Note:
The Connects to Hubs field is available only if you have selected a provider hub. Click the toggle button to specify that the WAN link of the site connects to a hub. Note:
|
VLAN ID |
Enter a VLAN ID for the WAN link. Range: 0 through 4049 (4050 to 4094 is reserved by CSO). Note:
To enable the configuration of WAN links as logical interfaces, you must modify the device template and configure the WAN ports as logical interfaces. |
Backup Link |
Select a backup link through which traffic can be routed when the primary (other) links are unavailable. You can select any link other than the default links or links that are configured exclusively for local breakout traffic. When a primary link comes back online, CSO monitors the performance on the primary link and when the primary link meets the SLA requirements, the traffic is switched back to the primary link. However, SLA data is not monitored for the backup link. |
Default Link |
Select one or more links that will be used for routing traffic in the absence of matching SD-WAN policy intents. A site can have multiple default links to the hub site. Default links are used primarily for overlay traffic but can also be used for local breakout traffic. However, a default link cannot be used exclusively for local breakout traffic. If you do not specify a default link, then equal-cost multipath (ECMP) is used to choose the link on which to route traffic. |
WAN_1 (WAN-Interface-Name) |
Click the toggle button to enable or disable (default) the WAN link. When you enable the WAN link, fields related to the WAN link appear. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be configured to proceed. Refer to the fields described for WAN_0 (WAN-Interface-Name) for an explanation of the fields |
WAN_2 (WAN-Interface-Name) |
Click the toggle button to enable or disable (default) the WAN link. When you enable the WAN link, fields related to the WAN link appear. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be configured to proceed. Refer to the fields described for WAN_0 (WAN-Interface-Name) for an explanation of the fields |
WAN_3 (WAN-Interface-Name) |
Click the toggle button to enable or disable (default) the WAN link. When you enable the WAN link, fields related to the WAN link appear. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) must be configured to proceed. Refer to the fields described for WAN_0 (WAN-Interface-Name) for an explanation of the fields |
Advanced Configuration 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 by using the CSO GUI in Customer Portal. |
|
OAM IP Prefix |
We recommend that you do not configure this setting (leave the IP Prefix field blank) because management connectivity is handled automatically by CSO. |
Traffic Volume Metrics |
Choose a method to compute the SD-WAN traffic volume on the WAN links of the site. CSO uses this data to provide a graphical representation of the WAN traffic volume on the Site Details page.
|
DVPN Threshold for Tunnel Creation |
Specify the threshold for the number of sessions (flows) closed (in a two-minute duration) between the enterprise hub site and a destination site. When the number of sessions closed exceeds the specified threshold, a tunnel is created between the enterprise hub site and the destination site. For example, if you specify a threshold as 7, dynamic mesh tunnels are created if the number of sessions closed (in two minutes) between the enterprise hub site and destination site exceeds 7. |
DVPN Threshold for Tunnel Deletion |
Specify the threshold for the number of sessions closed (in a 15-minute duration) between the enterprise hub site and a destination site. When the number of sessions closed is lower than the specified threshold, the tunnel between the enterprise hub site and destination site is deleted. For example, if you specify the number of sessions closed as 5, dynamic mesh tunnels between the enterprise hub site and destination site are deleted if the number of sessions closed (in a 15-minute duration) is lesser than or equal to 5. |
Additional Configuration |
If you want to deploy additional configuration during the ZTP process, you can select one or more configuration templates and set the parameters for each template. |

Protocol |
Select either BGP or OSPF. |
BGP Configuration Note:
Starting in Release 6.1.0, CSO explicitly disables the long-lived graceful restart (LLGR) capability for BGP peering sessions with provider edge (PE) and data center or LAN routers. Disabling LLGR ensures that the CPE does not differentiate the route advertisements to the peering router irrespective of the peering router’s LLGR capability. Prior to CSO Release 6.1.0, LLGR helper mode is enabled by default (implicit behavior of Junos OS) on the CPE for BGP peering towards PE router in IP VPN deployments, and data center or LAN routers in data center deployments. |
|
Authentication |
Select the BGP route authentication method to be used:
|
Auth Key |
If you specified that MD5 should be used for authentication, specify an MD5 authentication key (password), which is used to verify the authenticity of BGP packets. |
BGP Options |
You can select the following options based on your requirements:
|
Loop Count |
This field is displayed only if you select AS-LOOP. Enter the maximum number of times the detection of local AS is allowed in the AS path. |
Peer IP Address |
Enter the IP address of the LAN BGP peer. |
Peer AS Number |
Enter the autonomous system (AS) number of the LAN BGP peer. By default, CSO uses the AS number 64512. You can enter a different AS number. |
Local AS Number |
Enter the local AS number. When you configure this parameter, the local AS number is used for BGP peering instead of the global AS number configured for the CPE. |

Route Advertisement Control |
|
LAN Route(s) to Overlay |
When this option is enabled, LAN routes are advertised to the remote CPEs. By default, this option is enabled. Starting in CSO Release 6.2.0, you can configure export policies in conjunction with the LAN Route(s) to Overlay option for more granular control over routes that are advertised to the overlay network. For example, when the LAN Route(s) to Overlay option is enabled, you can configure policies to prevent specific routes from being advertised. Similarly, when the LAN Route(s) to Overlay option is disabled, you can configure policies to allow only specific routes to be advertised. |
Overlay Route(s) to LAN |
This option is displayed only if you enable the Routing Protocol toggle button. By default, this option is disabled. Enable this option to advertise the remote CPE routes received in a department to the LAN router. Note:
In CSO Release 6.0.0 and earlier releases, this option is called Advertise LAN Prefix and is applicable only for data center departments.
|
Static/Aggr Routes to Overlay |
Enable this option to allow advertisement of static or aggregate routes to the overlay network.
|
Activation Task |
Troubleshooting |
---|---|
Model Site—CSO first models the site to begin the activation process. If you didn’t enter a serial number or disabled automatic activation, you must manually activate the site as explained in Manually Activate a Site. |
|
Prestage Device—Depending on the type of device used, you might need to copy the configuration that is generated by CSO and commit the configuration on the device. For such devices, CSO can move to the next step (detecting the device) only after the configuration is committed successfully on the device.
|
This step typically goes through without problems. However, if you encounter a problem, log in to the device (using a console or a management interface), access the CLI, and verify that the stage-1 configuration was committed on the device. |
Detect Device—The device reaches out to CSO, and communication with CSO is established. This task typically takes a few minutes. If the status shows as Pending after about 10 minutes, try the troubleshooting steps. |
If the device is not detected:
|
Bootstrap Device—This task comprises the following sub-tasks:
CSO applies the pre-script and stage-1 (includes the device configuration) configuration. This task typically takes a few minutes to finish. If the status shows as Pending after about 10 minutes, try the troubleshooting steps. |
If the bootstrap device task does not finish successfully:
|
Manage Device—After CSO applies the configuration on the device, the status of the device changes to Managed. If the status is showing Pending after about 10 minutes, try the troubleshooting steps. |
Go to the Jobs page (Monitor > Jobs), search for the ZTP job, and check the status. Click the job-name link to view the tasks associated with the job and their status. You can drill down further by clicking the task-name link. If the status of the job or task is In Progress, wait until the job or task finishes. If the job failed, you can retry the job by selecting the job, and clicking the Retry Job button. |

Pool-Based—CSO automatically creates pool-based NAT rules (Not applicable to sites with SD-WAN Essentials service). |
Source NAT rules are automatically created, with each rule from a department zone to the WAN NAT pool with a translation of type pool. For example, a source NAT rule from department zone to NAT pool might be created: Dept-Zone1 --> W1 : Translation=Pool-1 Dept-Zone2 --> W1 : Translation=Pool-1 When traffic from a branch site breaks out at an enterprise hub, a source NAT rule is automatically created at the enterprise hub from the department routing group to the WAN pool. Dept-vrf-group --> W1: Translation=Pool |
After the site is provisioned, you must perform Post-Provisioning Tasks for Enterprise Hub and SD-WAN Spoke Sites.
