1.14.1 Example for Building an SD-WAN Network for an Enterprise Tenant.......................................................370
Some large enterprises use the hierarchical networking architecture that consists
of the HQ, regional centers, and branches. Service traffic from branches is
aggregated to the regional centers. In such cases, the multi-area hierarchical
networking can be used.
● Sites are divided into multiple areas. Two DCs function as hub sites. The hub
sites and branch sites are divided into one area, and regional centers and
branch sites are divided into different areas.
● Two gateways are deployed at each hub site. The hub sites also function as
RR sites. Two gateways are deployed at each regional center. One or two
gateways can be deployed at each branch site.
● The hub-spoke or full-mesh networking is supported between sites in the
same regional center.
Some large enterprises have a large number of widely distributed branch sites. To
facilitate domain[d(1)] -based management and future site expansion, branch
sites can be divided and managed by different tenants.
● Two gateways are deployed at each hub site of all tenants. The hub sites also
function as RR sites.
● One or two gateways can be deployed at each branch site.
● The tenants communicate with each other through routes advertised on the
LAN side of the DC.
● The hub-spoke or full-mesh mode networking is supported between sites of
the same tenant.
IWG Networking with RRs Deployed by an MSP and Tenant Sites Connected
to an MPLS Backbone Network Through Gateways
An MSP deploys gateway sites to provide IWG services for tenants, so that tenant
sites can access the MSP's MPLS backbone network to implement efficient service
transmission.
● The MSP deploys gateway and RR sites. The gateway and RR sites must be
connected to SD-WAN transport networks so that all tenant sites can access
the gateway and RR sites.
● The gateways can access the MPLS backbone network using the Option A or
Option B solution.
● Tenant sites in different areas can communicate with each other through the
gateways.
● SD-WAN sites can communicate with legacy sites through the gateways.
Networking Requirements
Enterprise A has a DC and multiple branches. An SD-WAN network needs to be set
up to replace the enterprise's legacy network. The DC functions as the
headquarters site, and the gateway at the headquarters site functions as the RR. A
branch site can use a single gateway or dual gateways and can directly
communicate with the headquarters site and the other branch sites. Some
branches can only use the enterprise's legacy network (the MPLS link is used on
the WAN side), and cannot be reconstructed into SD-WAN sites.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
1. On an enterprise's SD-WAN network, an RR uses the co-deployment mode.
The CPE at a tenant's edge site also function as an RR. Such a site is called an
edge-RR site. In this example, the headquarters site (Hub1) uses the edge-RR
site mode, and the branch sites (Site2 and Site3) use the edge site mode. The
legacy site, Site1, is not managed by the iMaster NCE-WAN. Therefore, it does
not need to be created on the iMaster NCE-WAN.
2. Hub1 functions as the headquarters site and poses high reliability
requirements. At Hub1, two CPEs are deployed as gateways, and each CPE
connects to both the Internet and MPLS network. Site2 uses a single CPE as
the gateway and connects to both the Internet and MPLS network. The
Internet link at Site2 obtains a dynamic IP address through PPPoE whereas
the other link is configured with a static IP address. Site3 uses two CPEs as
gateways, with one connected to the Internet and the other to the MPLS
network.
3. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) clock synchronization mechanism is used
to synchronize clocks on devices. The edge-RR site has NTP clock
synchronization configured to synchronize its clock with that of the NTP
server, whereas edge sites synchronize their clocks with that of the edge-RR
site.

Networking Requirements
Enterprise A has a headquarters, a DC, and multiple branches. An SD-WAN
network needs to be set up to replace the enterprise's legacy network. The
gateway at the headquarters site functions as the RR. To enhance reliability, the
DC functions as a backup of the headquarters site. When the headquarters site is
unavailable, the DC takes over services from the headquarters site to ensure the
normal running of the entire network. A branch site can use a single gateway or
dual gateways and can directly communicate with the headquarters site and the
DC, but not the other branch sites. Some branches can only use the enterprise's
legacy network (the MPLS link is used on the WAN side), and cannot be
reconstructed into SD-WAN sites.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
1. On an enterprise's SD-WAN network, an RR uses the co-deployment mode.
The CPE at a tenant's edge site also function as an RR. Such a site is called an
edge-RR site. In this example, the headquarters site (Hub1) uses the edge-RR
site mode, and the branch sites (Site2 and Site3) use the edge site mode. The
legacy site, Site1, is not managed by the iMaster NCE-WAN. Therefore, it does
not need to be created on the iMaster NCE-WAN.
2. Hub1, Hub2, and Site3 have high reliability requirements, where two CPEs are
used as gateways, and each CPE connects to both the Internet and MPLS
network. Site2 uses a single CPE as the gateway and connects to the MPLS
network through two WAN links. Site4 uses two CPEs as gateways, and each
CPE connects to the Internet network. The Internet link at Site3 obtains a
dynamic IP address through PPPoE whereas the other link is configured with a
static IP address.
3. The NTP clock synchronization mechanism is used to synchronize clocks on
devices. The edge-RR site has NTP clock synchronization configured to
synchronize its clock with that of the NTP server, whereas edge sites
synchronize their clocks with that of the edge-RR site.
4. To enable direct communication between a branch site and the
headquarters/DC and prevent direct communication between branches, the
overlay network uses the hub-spoke networking. Hub1 and Hub2 are the
active and standby hub sites, respectively.

Networking Requirements
Bank B has a large number of branches that are widely distributed and wants to
build its own SD-WAN network. The network needs to be divided into multiple
areas based on the number and locations of sites. The two DCs deployed at the
headquarters function as hub sites, which form an area together with branches in
the same province. Branches in remote provinces are categorized into different
areas by province. Branch sites in the same area cannot directly communicate with
each other. Branches in remote provinces communicate with the hub sites through
a site with a high-performance gateway. Branches in different areas can
communicate with each other only through a hub site in the headquarters.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
1. On the bank's SD-WAN network, an RR uses the co-deployment mode. The
CPE at a tenant's edge site also function as an RR. Such a site is called an
edge-RR site. To enhance reliability, two RR sites are deployed. In this
example, Hub1 and Hub2 in the two DCs use the edge-RR site mode, and the
branch sites use the edge site mode, with CPEs at Hub1 and Hub2 being their
RRs.
2. Hub1, Hub2, and branch sites in the same province form area 1, in which the
overlay network uses the hub-spoke topology, and Hub1 and Hub2 function
as hub sites. Branch sites in area 1 can communicate with each other only
through a hub site. Hub1 and Hub2 are also border sites. Branch sites in area
1 communicate with sites in other areas through Hub1 or Hub2. The
following uses Site1 as an example. Branches in remote provinces form two
areas: area 2 and area 3. In area 2, the overlay network uses the hub-spoke
topology, and Agg1 functions as both the hub site and border site. A branch
site, for example, Site2, in area 2 communicates with sites in other areas
through Agg1. In area 3, the overlay network uses the hub-spoke topology,
and Agg2 functions as both the hub site and border site. A branch site, for
example, Site3, in area 3 communicates with sites in other areas through
Agg2. The overlay network between areas also uses the hub-spoke topology.
Branch sites in different areas can communicate with each other only through
Hub1 or Hub2.
3. At Hub1, Hub2, Agg1, and Agg2, two CPEs are deployed as gateways. The two
CPEs at each of these sites connect to both the Internet and MPLS network.
Site1 uses a single CPE as the gateway and connects to the Internet through
one WAN link. Site2 uses a single CPE as the gateway and connects to both
the Internet and MPLS network. Site3 uses two CPEs as gateways, with one
connected to the Internet and the other to the MPLS network.
4. The NTP clock synchronization mechanism is used to synchronize clocks on
devices. The edge-RR sites have NTP clock synchronization configured to
synchronize their clocks with that of the NTP server, whereas edge sites
synchronize their clocks with that of the edge-RR site.

Networking Requirements
Bank B with a large number of branches wants to set up its own SD-WAN
network. Hub sites are deployed in its DC. Branches and their sub-branches
directly communicate with the headquarters through a flattened network. Branch
sites cannot directly communicate with each other. To facilitate area-based
management and deployment of subsequent branches, bank B wants to create
multiple tenants based on areas. Each tenant uses an independent network
topology and independent hub site at the headquarters. Sites under different
tenants communicate with each other through the core network on the LAN side
of the hub sites at the headquarters.

Networking Requirements
Enterprise A has multiple branches connected to the headquarters through private
lines. It needs to build an SD-WAN network to replace its legacy network. Two
CPEs are deployed as gateways at the headquarters site and each CPE connects to
the Internet through one link. One CPE is deployed at each branch site and uses
Internet links instead of private lines. The CPE connects to the Internet through an
Ethernet link, and uses a 5G link as the backup of the Ethernet link for connecting
to the Internet through an ISP's 5G network. Branch sites can communicate with
the headquarters site, but cannot directly communicate with other branch sites.
Instead, they can communicate with each other through the headquarters site.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
1. On an enterprise's SD-WAN network, an RR uses the co-deployment mode.
The CPE at a tenant's edge site also function as an RR. Such a site is called an
edge-RR site. In this example, the headquarters site (Hub1) uses the edge-RR
site mode, and the branch site (Site1) uses the edge site mode.
2. Hub1 functions as the headquarters site and poses high reliability
requirements. At Hub1, two CPEs are deployed as gateways, and each CPE
connects to the Internet. At Site1, one CPE is deployed as the gateway and
connects to the Internet through an Ethernet WAN link and a 5G link. The 5G
link functions as the backup of the Ethernet WAN link.
3. There are two solutions for setting a 5G link as a backup link.
– Set the 5G link to the standby state. In this way, the 5G link is used as the
best-effort link upon a fault of the Ethernet link and does not carry
services in normal cases.
– Set the 5G link to the active state, and set its priority lower than for the
Ethernet link in the intelligent traffic steering policy.
In this example, the later solution is adopted, and an intelligent traffic
steering policy is configured to enable the 5G link to function as the backup
of the Ethernet WAN link. In this way, when the Ethernet WAN link is faulty,
services can be switched to the 5G link. After the Ethernet WAN link recovers,
services are automatically switched back to the Ethernet WAN link.
4. The NTP clock synchronization mechanism is used to synchronize clocks on
devices. The edge-RR site has NTP clock synchronization configured to
synchronize its clock with that of the NTP server, whereas edge sites
synchronize their clocks with that of the edge-RR site.
5. To enable direct communication between a branch site and the headquarters
and prevent direct communication between branches, the overlay network
uses the hub-spoke networking.

Networking Requirements
Bank B needs to build its own SD-WAN network. The bank network is divided into
three layers: branch, sub-branch, and micro-branch. Two data centers (DCs) are
deployed at branches and work in active/standby mode to provide services
externally. The WANs are Layer 2 MSTP private line networks provided by three
ISPs. iMaster NCE-WAN is deployed in DC1 and connects to the WANs through a
traditional router. One hub site is deployed in each DC, and two SD-WAN CPEs are
deployed at each hub site. Each CPE connects to the three ISP networks through
three links. Two CPEs are deployed at a sub-branch, and establish a total of six
links. Three uplinks are connected to the three ISP networks for interconnection
with the DCs, while three downlinks are connected to the three ISP networks for
interconnection with micro-branches.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
1. On an SD-WAN network, an RR uses the co-deployment mode. The CPE at a
tenant's edge site also functions as an RR. Such a site is called an edge-RR
site. In this example, to improve reliability, Hub1 and Hub2 where the two
DCs reside are deployed as edge-RR sites, and other branch sites are deployed
as edge sites and use Hub1 and Hub2 as RRs.
2. Sub-branches can directly communicate with the DCs, while micro-branches
can communicate with the DCs through sub-branches. Therefore, the
hierarchical networking is used. As shown in Figure 1-7, Hub1 and Hub2 are
branches, Agg1 is a sub-branch, and Site1 is a micro-branch. Hub1 and Hub2
(hub sites) form the default area, which uses the hub-spoke overlay topology.
Agg1 and micro-branches form Area1, which also uses the hub-spoke overlay
topology. Agg1 functions as both the hub site and border site in Area1. Site1
communicates with Hub1 and iMaster NCE-WAN deployed in the DCs
through Agg1. The hub-spoke overlay topology is used between the areas.
Hub1 and Hub2 function as hub sites, and Agg1 communicates with other
sub-branch sites through the hub sites.
3. Hub1 and Hub2 each use two CPEs as gateways. Each CPE connects to ISP1,
ISP2, and ISP3 through three WAN links. Site1 uses two CPEs as gateways:
CPE1 connected to ISP1 and CPE2 connected to ISP2 and ISP3. Agg1 uses two
CPEs as gateways, and establish a total of six links. Three uplinks are
connected to the three ISP networks for interconnection with the DCs, while
three downlinks are connected to the three ISP networks for interconnection
with micro-branches.
4. Bank B has a large number of micro-branches, each of which connects to
Agg1 through an ISP private line. Therefore, Ethernet sub-interfaces are
configured on CPEs at Agg1 to provide a large number of WAN links. Agg1
needs to provide uplinks and downlinks for communication between micro-
branch sites and hub sites through overlay tunnels and between micro-branch
sites with iMaster NCE-WAN in the DCs through the underlay network. To
meet these communication requirements, loopback interfaces are configured
on CPEs at Agg1 for establishing overlay tunnels. Physical interfaces are used
to forward underlay traffic and cannot be enabled with the overlay tunneling
function. Assuming that CPE1 at Agg1 needs to communicate with Site1
through ISP1, the configuration roadmap is as follows:
a. Configure a WAN link on the loopback interface of CPE1, and configure
VN instance Underlay_1 for the WAN link.
b. On CPE1, configure a WAN uplink on the physical interface GE1 and a
WAN uplink on the sub-interface GE2.1031 for connecting to the MSTP
network (ISP1). Disable the overlay tunneling function on GE1 and
GE2.1031. Configure VN instance Underlay_1 for these WAN links.
c. Configure underlay WAN routes to each site on CPE1 to implement
communication with CPEs at these sites. Because ISP1 is a Layer 2 MSTP
network, the underlay WAN routes can be either static or OSPF routes.
5. The NTP clock synchronization mechanism is used to synchronize clocks on
devices. The edge-RR site has NTP clock synchronization configured to
synchronize its clock with that of the NTP server, whereas edge sites
synchronize their clocks with that of the edge-RR site.

Networking Requirements
Bank B needs to build an SD-WAN network to replace its legacy network. To
improve service reliability, it deploys three DCs in China for disaster recovery.
Based on geographical locations, each branch uses the nearest DC as the active
DC and other two DCs as the standby DCs. Branch sites can directly communicate
with the DCs, and can communicate with each other through the DCs.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, perform the following
tasks:
active hub site and Hub2 and Hub3 as the standby hub sites; Site2 uses Hub2
as the active hub site and Hub1 and Hub3 as standby hub sites; Site3 uses
Hub3 as the active hub site and Hub1 and Hub2 are standby hub sites. The
branch sites communicate with each other through hub sites. In this example,
Hub1 and Hub2 are configured as the hub sites for branch interconnection.

Networking Requirements
An MSP provides SD-WAN services for enterprise A and completes network
deployment for implementing mutual access between the headquarters and
branches and between branches. The headquarters and branches of enterprise A
are widely distributed, and need to communicate with each other efficiently
through an MPLS backbone network. Therefore, in the SD-WAN networking
solution, the MSP needs to provide gateways for interconnection with the MPLS
backbone network. Figure 1-9 shows the SD-WAN networking diagram of
enterprise A.
Solution Design
The MSP needs to provide enterprise A with services for interconnection between
the gateways and MPLS backbone network. Therefore, the MSP needs to deploy
RR and gateway sites. In addition, this solution uses the MSP-operated mode, in
which the MSP administrator configures the MSP's RR and gateway sites as well as
the tenant's SD-WAN sites. The networking is designed as follows:

Networking Requirements
Figure 1-10 shows the SD-WAN networking of Enterprise A. During the setup of
an SD-WAN network, the tenant administrator needs to configure connectivity
between the CPEs and the WAN-side network.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, the tenant
administrator has created the edge-RR site and edge sites. To configure routes for
the underlay network, perform the following tasks:
1. BGP is supported in the MPLS network on the WAN side, allowing BGP routes
to be configured on the underlay network for connecting the CPEs and the
MPLS network. To improve the security of the BGP routing protocol, MD5
authentication is enabled. Since BGP is not supported in the Internet, static
routes need to be configured to connect the CPEs to the Internet.
2. The information about BGP peers needs to be configured on the CPE of each
site to enable interconnection between the site and the MPLS network. No
routing policy needs to be configured because currently there is no need to
restrict the network segments in which BGP routes are advertised and
received. This means all BGP routes are advertised and received in every
network segment.
3. When configuring static routes for Internet access, you need to configure a
default route. The Internet link at Site2 obtains a dynamic IP address through
PPPoE. Therefore, an outbound interface is specified as the next hop of the
default route. To quickly detect network faults, you are advised to set an IP
address that is reachable through a public network route as a probe address.
The system then creates an NQA instance using this address as the
destination address for detecting link connectivity. In this example, the probe
address is 10.110.42.160.

Networking Requirements
Figure 1-11 shows the SD-WAN networking of an enterprise. On the SD-WAN
network built by the tenant, services of the enterprise's R&D, marketing, and
finance departments need to be isolated from each other.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, the tenant
administrator has created the edge-RR sites and edge sites, and has completed the
underlay network configurations. To implement service isolation between the two
departments on the overlay, perform the following tasks:
1. Configure VNs for the two departments. Configure RD for R&D department,

Networking Requirements
Figure 1-12 shows the SD-WAN networking of an enterprise. The requirements for
the two sites on the SD-WAN network to be established by a tenant administrator
are as follows:
● Users at Site2 use the CPE gateway as the DHCP relay agent to obtain IP
addresses from the DHCP server.
● The dual gateways at the branch site Site3, that is, Site3_1 and Site 3_2, are
connected to the Layer 2 network of VLAN 10, and different users are located
in the same network segment. Hosts are dual-homed to Site3_1 and Site3_2
through Layer 2 switches. The user requirements are as follows:
– Hosts at Site3 use Site3_1 as the master gateway to connect to the MPLS
network. If Site3_1 fails, Site3_2 assumes the role of the master,
implementing gateway backup.
– Site3_1 becomes the master gateway again after it recovers.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, the tenant
administrator has created sites, and has completed the underlay network
configurations. To implement interconnection between VLANs and LAN-side
overlay networks, as well as deploy the VRRP master and backup gateways,
perform the following tasks:
1. Add LAN-side interfaces to VLANs and configure the interfaces to permit
packets of the VLANs that users belong to. Configure IP addresses for VLANIF
interfaces for Layer 3 connectivity.
– Site2 uses VLAN 10 to manage LAN-side users and VLAN 102 to connect
to the DHCP server.
– Site3 uses VLAN 10 to manage LAN-side users.
2. When adding LAN-side interfaces of Site2_1 to a VLAN, enable the DHCP
relay function. Users in the VLAN can use Site2_1 as the DHCP relay agent to
apply for IP addresses from the DHCP server.
3. Configure the VRRP master and backup gateways. Create a VRRP group and
configure a virtual IP address for this VRRP group.
Site3_1 functions as the master gateway to forward traffic and has the
preemption delay configured to 20s. Site3_2 functions as the backup gateway
to ensure gateway redundancy, and has the preemption delay configured to 0,
indicating immediate preemption.

Figure 1-13 shows the SD-WAN networking of an enterprise. On the SD-WAN
network constructed by the tenant administrator, two gateways at the Hub1 site
are connected to hosts through the same Layer 3 switch. The gateways and Layer
3 switch are in the same VLAN and therefore belong to the same network
segment. The enterprise requires that the gateways at the Hub1 site communicate
with the Layer 3 switch.
Solution Design
Based on customer requirements and the networking plan, the tenant
administrator has created the sites, and configured LAN-side interfaces on the
underlay network. To configure LAN-side interfaces on the overlay network and
OSPF routes on the LAN side for interconnection between LAN-side networks,
perform the following tasks:
1. Add the LAN-side interface of Hub1 to a VLAN and configure an IP address
for the VLANIF interface to implement Layer 3 communication.
2. Configure two gateways to run the same OSPF process.

Networking Requirements
Figure 1-16 shows the SD-WAN networking of enterprise A. The tenant
administrator has deployed the SD-WAN network, and the customer requires that
key services, including voice and video conferencing, should be preferentially
transmitted through the MPLS link. To fully utilize the MPLS link bandwidth, the
MPLS link can transmit FTP service traffic when the bandwidth utilization of the
MPLS link is low. When congestion occurs on the MPLS link, FTP services are
scheduled to the Internet link, which does not affect the forwarding of voice and
video conferencing services on the MPLS link.
Solution Design
1. Configure intelligent traffic steering at each site to meet customer
requirements.
2. Identify VoIP and FTP services through an application group, and configure
the MPLS link to take precedence over the Internet link in the primary link
group and the VoIP service to take precedence over the FTP service. When
congestion occurs on the MPLS link, FTP traffic is preferentially scheduled to
the Internet link with a lower priority because FTP applications have a low
priority.
3. Identify VoIP and FTP services through an application group and configure a
higher priority for the MPLS link than the Internet link. In this example, set
the priority to 1 for the MPLS link and to 2 for the Internet link in Primary
Transport Network. In this way, VoIP and FTP services are preferentially
transmitted over the MPLS link in normal cases.
4. Set a higher priority for the VoIP service than the FTP service in Advanced
settings of the VoIP and FTP traffic policies. When the MPLS link is congested,
FTP service traffic is preferentially scheduled to the Internet link with a lower
priority.

2 Site Deployment
Networking Requirements
An enterprise wants to deploy several branch sites, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Information about CPEs that serve as gateways of the sites is ready. It is time-
consuming and labor-intensive if software engineers go to the sites to deploy the
CPEs site by site. The enterprise requires a method to quickly deploy the sites in a
batch through easy operations without requiring high software commissioning
skills.
Solution Design
If multiple CPEs need to be deployed and the CPE model and ESN information are
available, you can deploy the CPEs in a batch using USB-based deployment at a
location where most CPEs are located, and then assign the CPEs to the sites for
installation and deployment. The following example describes how to use USB-
based deployment to deploy Site2.

● If an AR600, AR1600, or AR6000 series router is deployed as a CPE, check the
CTRL indicator status on the AR. If the indicator is steady on, the AR has been
successfully deployed and registered with the iMaster NCE-WAN.
----End
Precautions
● During USB-based deployment, the SN in the index file used to deploy a CPE
must be different from the default USB-based deployment flag of the CPE.
The SN in an index file is a unique flag for USB-based deployment. A device
has a default USB-based deployment flag. If there is the USB_AR.ini file in the
USB flash drive, the device checks whether the default USB-based deployment
flag and the SN in the USB_AR.ini file are the same. If they are the same, the
device does not start USB-based deployment. If they are different, the device
starts USB-based deployment and starts with the deployment files specified in
the USB flash drive. If the deployment succeeds, the default USB-based
deployment flag on the device is changed to the SN in the USB_AR.ini file.
Networking Requirements
An enterprise wants to add a site, Site2, deploy a CPE as the gateway, and connect
Site2 to the WAN through an Internet link, as shown in Figure 2-2. No
professional software commissioning engineer is available at Site2. The hardware
installation test engineer needs to complete the CPE deployment after installing
the CPE.
Solution Design
Hardware installation test engineers usually have limited skills in commissioning
router software. However, they have a basic understanding of the operations, for
example, connecting terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops to the
network and browsing web pages. Therefore, they can deploy the CPE at Site2
using email-based deployment in the following ways:

Networking Requirements
Carrier A provides SD-WAN services for enterprise customers and is responsible for
deploying SD-WAN sites. With the growth in service volume, the deployment of
SD-WAN sites consumes more technical and manpower resources. To reduce costs,
carrier A wants CPEs to be automatically deployed upon cable connection after
the CPEs are installed, without any other manual configuration. Figure 2-3 shows
the networking, on which Site2 is a new site and has no dedicated software
commissioning engineers available. After hardware installation engineers install a
CPE at Site2, they need to deploy the CPE onsite.
Solution Design
In the carrier resale scenario, an enterprise customer wants to build its SD-WAN
network based on carrier A's WAN network. To implement this, DHCP-based
deployment can be used. The DHCP-based deployment process is described as
follows:
1. Carrier A deploys a DHCP server on the WAN and configures the DHCP server.
The major configuration items are as follows:
● Pool of IP addresses that can be assigned to DHCP clients
● Gateway address for DHCP clients
● Field Option 148:
agilemode=tradition;agilemanage-mode=ip;agilemanage-
domain=x.x.x.x;agilemanage-port=10020;
To ensure that the CPE Site2_1 (functioning as a DHCP client) at the SD-WAN
site can communicate with the DHCP server. In this case, the DHCP server and
the gateway are deployed in the carrier's intranet and communicate with each
other through a Layer 3 network. The gateway is configured the DHCP relay
function. After Site2_1 connects to the gateway, it can send a DHCP request
to the DHCP server to obtain an IP address.

Networking Requirements
A hardware fault occurs on two CPEs at the site of an enterprise. The enterprise
wants to replace them with new CPEs to restore network services.
Solution Design
1. Add the new CPEs to the device management system of the iMaster NCE-
WAN. Ensure that the model of the new CPEs is the same as that of the CPEs
to be replaced.
2. Perform device replacement on the iMaster NCE-WAN, select the site at which
CPEs need to be replaced, and send a deployment email.
3. At the site, use the new CPEs to replace the faulty CPEs and connect them to
the WAN. Then, deploy the CPEs again.
4. After the CPEs are deployed, they automatically obtain the modified
configuration from the iMaster NCE-WAN.
Figure 3-1 shows the detailed operation flowchart.
Data Plan
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to the iMaster NCE-WAN as a tenant administrator.
2. In the device list, find the faulty CPEs. Click in the Operation column of
the CPE records. The Device Replacement page is displayed.
3. In the new device list, select the new CPEs after the replacement and click OK.
4. After the replacement is successful, the device ESNs are the ESNs of the new
CPEs.
