Engine Editor > Interfaces > Loopback

Use this branch to define loopback IP addresses for Engines. Loopback IP addresses allow you to assign IP addresses that do not belong to any directly connected networks to the Engine.

Bypass Default IP Address Specifies how the source IP address for traffic sent from the Secure SD-WAN Engine node is selected for tunnel interfaces that do not have IP addresses.
