Dynamic link selection configuration overview
The configuration of dynamic link selection consists of several general steps.
- Define link selection options in the properties of QoS Class elements to specify how important different quality metrics are for traffic that is associated with the QoS Class.
- (Optional) Create Connection Type elements to define how NetLinks and VPN endpoints are used in a Multi-Link configuration.
If the default Connection Type elements meet your needs, it is not necessary to create custom Connection Type elements.
When you create NetLinks or VPN endpoints, select a Connection Type element.
- Create a Link Usage Profile element to define which link types are preferred, avoided, or not used for specific types of traffic.
- Activate dynamic link selection.
- To use dynamic link selection for outbound traffic that uses Multi-Link routes, select a Link Usage Profile for an Secure SD-WAN Engine.
- To use dynamic link selection for Multi-Link VPNs, select a Link Usage Profile for a policy-based VPN, route-based VPN tunnel group, or a VPN broker domain.
- (Optional) To specify which traffic uses specific NetLinks, define exceptions to the Link Usage Profile for an Secure SD-WAN Engine.
