Sites
A Site is a logical location in the SD-WAN network, such as a branch, office, hub, or data center. It connects the SD-WAN configuration to a real deployment location.
A Site binds the following elements:
A router
The OneOS6 device assigned to the location. The router is identified by information such as its serial number and hardware type.
Location
The address and geographic coordinates used for maps, monitoring, and operations.
LAN and WAN interfaces
The physical or logical interfaces used at the Site. Each interface is configured with a label and local parameters, such as IP address, VLAN, DHCP mode, bandwidth, and other interface-specific settings.
Overlays
The list of overlays available at the Site. This list is ordered, which means the first overlay in the list is evaluated before the next one. Each overlay also contains an ordered list of Traffic Rules that determines how traffic is classified and handled.
A single-edge deployment uses one router per Site. A dual-edge deployment uses two routers, for example with VRRP, to provide high availability.
Role in the Model
The Site is where global SD-WAN objects become specific to a location. Labels, Overlays, and Traffic Rules are defined at a higher level, but the Site determines how they are applied to real interfaces and devices.
For example, the Site defines which physical port carries LAN-Corporate, which WAN is labeled WAN-Fiber, and which ordered overlay list is used at that location.
