Create Domain elements

Only administrators that have unrestricted permissions (superusers) can create Domains.

Before you begin

To create or manage Domains, you must log on to the active Management Server.

You can create as many Domains as you need. Your Domain license defines how many Domains you can create.

A service break for the Secure SD-WAN Manager is highly recommended when introducing Domains into the system, assigning the existing elements to the correct Domains, and changing the administrator accounts.
