Assigning a role to a CPE device

You can assign a role to a CPE template or a CPE device. A role assigned to a CPE template is automatically assigned to all CPE devices that use this CPE template.

To assign a role to a CPE device:

1. Assign a role to a CPE device in one of the following ways:
   • If you want to assign a role to a CPE template, go to the SD-WAN → CPE templates menu section, click the CPE template, and select the Topology tab.
   • If you want to assign a role to a CPE device, do one of the following:
     • In the menu, go to the SD-WAN → CPE section, click the CPE device, select the Topology tab, and select the Override check box.
     • In the menu, go to the Infrastructure section, click Management → Configuration menu next to the controller, go to the Topology tags section, and in the Switch drop-down list, select the CPE device.
2. In the Role drop-down list, select the role of the CPE device:
   • CPE for a standard CPE device. Default value.
   • Gateway for an SD-WAN Gateway. You cannot assign topology tags to SD-WAN gateways.
3. Save the CPE device role in one of the following ways:
   • If you have assigned a role to a CPE template or a CPE device in the SD-WAN section, in the upper part of the settings area, click Save to save the settings of the CPE template or CPE device.
   • If you have assigned a role to a CPE device in the Topology tags section, in the upper part of the page, click Save.
