Assigning a topology tag to a CPE device

You can assign a topology tag to a CPE template or a CPE device. A topology tag assigned to a CPE template is automatically assigned to all CPE devices that use this CPE template. CPE devices with the same topology tags automatically establish links with each other. A topology tag cannot be assigned to a CPE device if you have assigned the SD-WAN Gateway role to the CPE device.

To assign a topology tag to a CPE device:

1. Assign a topology tag to a CPE device in one of the following ways:
   • If you want to assign a topology tag 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 topology tag 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.

   Topology tags are displayed.

2. In the Topology tags field, enter the topology tag that you want to assign to the CPE device and click the add icon .

   The topology tag is assigned to the CPE device. You can assign multiple topology tags or remove a topology tag. To remove a topology tag, click the remove icon next to it.

3. Save the topology tags of the CPE device in one of the following ways:
   • If you have assigned a topology tag 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 topology tag to a CPE device in the Topology tags section, in the upper part of the page, click Save.
