Bonds¶
Bonds are the central object in SD-WAN. A bond refers to a collection of legs, connected IPs, CPE NAT IPs, routes, and other settings.
The configuration for a single bond is used at two locations:
- At the CPE. For example, the CPE uses the bond configuration to configure its Ethernet interfaces based on the legs and connected IPs in the bond.
- At the aggregator. For example, the aggregator uses the bond configuration to set up the correct routes for the connected IPs, CPE NAT IPs, and routes.
A bond is closely associated with a bonder (the hardware that runs the bond at the customer’s premise), but can easily be moved from one aggregator to another using the appropriate forms on the management server.
