Assign PE

This document explains how to assign, modify, and delete a system's PE (Provider Edge) device. It also explains how to use the terminal to view device settings and troubleshoot problems.

Prerequisites​

Before using PE devices, you must create a region. To learn how to create a region, please see the Create Region documentation. Regions are necessary because they define the rules for assigning IP addresses (internal and external) to PE devices.

Assigning a PE Device​

  • Go to the Login > PE Device > [Select PE] > Unassigned > Pick Unassigned device > Assign Device icon.

    • Device Label: Give a simple and understandable name to identify a specific device.

    • Configure IP (Optional): Check this box to manually configure IP addresses.

      • If checked, the following fields become mandatory.

Multiple-assign-pe

If you want to assign multiple PEs (Provider Edges) to the same region, you will need to add a new external IP and internal IP address to that region, and then you can assign a new PE to the same region. To add a new IP, follow the same procedure as before.

Accessing Device Terminal​

A command has to be written to connect to CE and a terminal is required for that.

  • Click on the pen located on the right side of your Device.
