Configuring an Exit Profile

The exit profile defines a primary link (or a set of primary links) for the SaaS application traffic, as well as optional secondary and tertiary uplinks in case the primary uplink(s) do not meet the SLA configured for the SaaS application. By default, the BestforSaaS exit profile is available on the Branch Gateways.

To configure an exit profile, complete the following steps:

  1. In the WebUI, set the filter to a group that contains at least one Branch Gateway.

    The dashboard context for a group is displayed.

  2. Under Manage, click Devices > Gateways.

    A list of gateways is displayed in the List view.

  3. Click the Config icon.

    The gateway group configuration page is displayed. The SaaS exit profile configuration is available in the Advanced Mode.

  4. Click WAN > SAAS Express.
  5. Click Exit Profiles. By default, Branch Gateways include the BestForSaas exit profile.
  6. To add a new exit profile, click + in the Exit Profile table.

    The Create New Exit Profile section is displayed.

  7. Select an uplink path from the available list of uplinks:
    • Name—Specify a name for the exit profile.
    • Primary Path—A primary uplink path for steering traffic. You can select multiple uplink IDs in a sequential order. When multiple primary paths are configured, the traffic is load-balanced across all primary paths that meet the configured SLA.
    • Secondary Path—A secondary uplink path for steering traffic. To configure a secondary path, select the uplink type or ID. When a session is steered to a secondary path, it stays on the link until the end irrespective of the status of the primary path. When a primary path becomes active and meets the configured SLA, the new sessions are steered back to the primary path.
    • Tertiary Path—The third uplink path is a last attempt to steer traffic (when both primary and secondary paths are down). When a session is steered to a tertiary path, it stays on the link until the end. When a primary path becomes active and meets the configured SLA, the new sessions are steered back to the primary path.
  8. Click Save Settings.
