Tunnel Groups Tab

Configuration > Tunnel Groups

A Tunnel Group consists of a set of appliances, paired with a configuration that defines how to build tunnels among them.

Use this page to create Tunnel Groups.

n	Orchestrator automatically builds these tunnels in the background.

n	Tunnel groups are self-healing. If a change is made to an IP address (as with DHCP) or to a Label, those changes propagate appropriately through the tunnel groups.

n	To assign tunnel properties, use the Tunnels section of the Configuration > Templates tab.

n	To add and remove appliances from Tunnel Groups, click Manage Appliances and Tunnel Groups.

n	To view a list of tunnels, refer to the Configuration > Tunnels tab.

n	To pause Orchestrator's tunnel management while you troubleshoot, click Settings and deselect Enable.

Topology

n	You can choose either a Mesh or a Hub & Spoke topology.

n	If choosing Hub & Spoke, choose the hubs you need from the Select Hubs area. If one you need isn't displayed, click +Add, as needed.

Interfaces

n	Connect all Available Interfaces refers to WAN ports only. If an appliance is in Server mode, its WAN port is the mgmt0 interface.

n	Only Connect These Labels is an option when the appliance is at Release 8.0 or later, and you have used the Orchestrator to assign labels to interfaces. Generally, WAN interfaces are named according to the service or service provider.
