The following sections describe new features and enhancements delivered in Oracle SD-WAN Aware 3.1GA P2.

• Site Templates

Users now have the ability to configure Bridge Pairs, VLANs, and Ethernet Interfaces using Site Templates from Aware. This reduces configuration complexity when adding branch locations with similar topologies and saves the user time.

To create a Site Template using Aware, begin on the Basic tab, select the Network view, and click the + Site Template button.

Figure 1

Here, you will select which Ethernet Interfaces should be used, set the Bypass Mode, choose whether to bridge the Interfaces, pick a Security setting, add any required VLANs, and set the WAN DHCP Client option. Click the Add button and observe the New_Site_Template now appears on the left-hand side of the page. To change the template name or edit any of its settings, simply click on it.

Figure 2

The user will then select which sites should begin using the template.

Figure 3

Additionally, users may create a Site Template based on an existing site within the configuration. To do so, change the view to Sites, select the branch site name, and click Generate Site Template.

Figure 4

In this example, a new Site Template from the existing site, “SYR”. You can confirm the settings in the pop up window and change the template name. The new template has been named Branch_TemplateA.

Observe Branch_TemplateA now appears on the Network view page.

Figure 6

Assign the new template to a site. In the example below, Branch_TemplateA has been assigned to branch site “BUFF”.
