Figure 23 Configuring WAN service networks

 

Service plane planning

Two types of service planes exist in the scenario. One is the POP-POP lane, where all POPs establish overlay links on the plane. The other is the POP-CPE plane, where each CPE selects the plane with the POP it needs to access.

Layer 3 dedicated MPLS network: In this example, POPs need to establish overlay links and CPEs and POPs need to establish overlay links over the Layer 3 dedicated MPLS network.

Figure 24 Service plane list over the Layer 3 dedicated MPLS network

 

Internet: In this example, POPs do not need to establish overlay links over the Internet. CPEs need to establish overlay links with the POPs they need to access over the Internet, as shown in Figure 25.

Figure 25 Service plane list over the Internet

 

Add sites and devices

Import sites and devices

Import sites and devices from the templates. Select RR and CPE roles for the POP sites incorporated by the MSP tenant.

Figure 26 Sites and devices

 

Key parameters:

·     Site Role: As a best practice, do not configure the NAT Transfer role for the solution in the current software version.

¡     RR: Route reflector.

¡     CPE: Customer premises equipment. Configure the three branch sites as CPEs.

¡     RR_CPE: Route reflector and customer premises equipment. Configure the HQ sites as RR_CPEs.

·     Enable POP: Sites on which POP is enabled can be accessed by devices managed by other tenants. Sites on which POP are not enabled can be accessed only by devices incorporated by the MSP account.

Configure STUN

POPs managed by the MSP tenant require a fixed public IP address. CPEs need to use a STUN server to obtain a public IP address, which can be configured here and then allocated to non-MSP tenants.

Figure 27 STUN

 

Configure WAN service network details

Select the service plane for device interfaces based on the plane specification. Import the WAN details template as shown in Figure 28.

Figure 28 WAN service network details

 

Deploy devices via USB/email

POPs managed by MSP accounts are typically deployed manually. To deploy devices via USB/email, you must configure a mail server.

Plan branch networks

For information about how to configure POP area topology and VPN settings for a MSP tenant, see AD-WAN 6.5 Branch Solution WAN Service Configuration Guide.

Configuration workflow

Figure 29 Configuration workflow

 

Manage access zones

Create access zones

1.     Navigate to the Guide > Branch Network Deployment > Plan Branch Networks > Access Zones page or navigate to the Automation > Branch Networks > Virtual Networks > Access Zones page.

2.     Click Add to add an access zone. Specify the RR for the access zone and make sure the WAN network services details have been deployed to the RR site. Select to enable Block Communication Between CPE Sites. Enable BFD as a best practice in a primary/backup POP scenario.

Figure 30 Adding an access zone

 

Key parameters:

¡     Tenant Access Site Capability: Maximum number of sites that the tenant can access from this access zone. The access zone will not be allocated to the tenant if this parameter is not configured.

¡     Block Communication Between CPE Sites: As a best practice, enable this feature in the MSP scenario. If you enable this feature, the CPE sites attached to the access zone cannot communicate with each other by default. In this case, you must configure an area topology to enable communication between CPE sites attached to the access zone.

¡     BFD: As a best practice, enable BFD for the access zone in a network with primary and backup POPs.

In this example, all POPs are in one access zone. Create an access zone separately for each POP to be allocated to non-MSP tenants. CPE devices of non-MSP tenants access the access zone allocated by the MSP as needed.

Figure 31 Access zone

 

Attach sites

1.     Click the  icon in the Actions column. Select Attach as Client in the access zone of all POP sites. As a best practice, select Attach as Client in the MSP scenario.

Figure 32 Attaching sites as clients

 

Configure O&M settings

Figure 33 Configure O&M settings

 

Manage VPNs

1.     Navigate to the Guide > Branch Network Deployment > Plan Branch Networks > VPNs page or navigate to the Automation > Branch Networks > Virtual Networks > VPNs Management > VPNs page.

2.     Click Add, configure the following parameters, and then click OK to save the configuration, as shown in Figure 34. The VPNs created by the MSP tenant will be allocated to non-MSP tenants.

Figure 34 Adding a VPN instance

 

Key parameters:

¡     VPN Name: VPN name saved on the controller.

¡     VPN Instance Name: VPN instance configuration deployed to devices.

¡     Tenant Access Site Capability: To allocate VPNs to tenants, specify this parameter. VPNs will not allocate to non-MSP tenants if this parameter is not configured.

Add an area topology

Navigate to the Guide > Branch Network Deployment > Plan Branch Networks > Area Topology page and then click Add. On the page that opens, add a full-mesh area topology for POPs, and then click OK, as shown in Figure 35. The higher the area local priority, the more likely the routes through the site will be selected. Traffic forwarding between POPs does not involve primary and secondary links. In this example, the area local priority is not configured.

Figure 35 Adding a full-mesh area topology

 

Add a topology policy

After an area topology is added, you can add topology policies for some branch sites in the area. In this example, no topology policy is not configured.

Add an area interconnect

Navigate to the Guide > Branch Network Deployment > Plan Branch Networks > Area Interconnect page and configure the boundary sites between regions according to the networking requirements. All CPEs communicate with each other through POPs, so POP are the boundary devices.

To add an area interconnect, first add area topologies for non-MSP tenants as described in "Add an area topology", and then configure area interconnects for the MPS tenant.
