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:

1. 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.

2. 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.
