Configure Tunnels on EdgeConnect

Follow the steps below to configure IPsec tunnels. You will need to create an IPsec VPN tunnel to the primary POP and an IPsec VPN tunnel to the failover POP.

Create a Tunnel to a Primary POP
  1. Log in to Silver Peak Unity Orchestrator.

  2. In the device tree on the left, select the EdgeConnect appliance where you want to configure the tunnel to Netskope.

  3. Open the Tunnels tab (click Configuration > Networking > Tunnels > Tunnels).

  4. Click the edit icon image6.png on the left of any row in the table.

  5. On the tunnels detail page, click Passthrough at the top of the table, and then click Add Tunnel.

    The Add Passthrough Tunnel dialog opens.
