Tunnel Builder Tab

Configuration > Tunnel Builder

Use this page to create tunnels.

n	To manage tunnels and assign their properties, use the Tunnels section of the Templates tab.

n	To view, edit, and delete tunnels, use the Tunnels tab.

n	Tunnels are color-coded: Green = Up, Red = Down, Blue = Pending (before final Apply)

n	To delete a tunnel (pending or not), click on it. Confirm in the dialog box that appears.

To create tunnels, follow this sequence:

1	In the Navigation window, select the appliances. For 4 and fewer appliances, all appliances and interfaces display. For more, a scaled view appears.

2	To verify or change a Network Role (mesh / hub / spoke), click Roles/Sites. To exclude peers from having connecting tunnels, assign them the same Site name, and assign the primary appliance the lower Priority value.

3	Assign tunnel properties by selecting a Tunnel Template.

4	Use either of these two methods to create tunnels:

•	Click and drag a line from one interface to another.

•	Click Auto-Draw Tunnels. When an appliance has more than 2 interfaces and its peer has more than 1 interface, then auto-build will not create tunnels.

If you deselect an appliance (in the Navigation pane) that has pending tunnels, its pending tunnels are discarded.

5	Click Apply. A table summarizing the proposed changes appears. To implement them, click Apply.
