You can configure networks under Manage > Topology: Sites & Networks. The Sites & Networks page displays the predefined networks appear: MPLS and Internet. You can edit or delete these networks. The SCC doesn’t automatically link default uplinks to these networks. Click + Add a Network to display the New Network pop-up window. These configuration options are available:

Specifies the network name: for example, AT&T or MPLS. The network name must be unique and can’t contain spaces or special characters.

Specifies whether this network is securable using secure transport. To enable secure transport, you must specify that a network is securable to ensure that the network is part of the secure transport group. A member of the secure transport group can create a secure path to any other member of the same group instantaneously, without delay. Select public if you want to use UDP encapsulation on the secure traffic using the port number defined for the in-path interface.

The secure transport service enables group encryption for path selection deployments. RiOS adds all appliances having a secured uplink to a secure transport group. You can secure traffic flowing between any two appliances in the secure transport group by directing it to a secured uplink using path selection service rules. Secure transport uses UDP to encapsulate traffic on a public network.

Indicates if the network represents the internet.

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the system backs off probing to sites in case there is no traffic. The default value is 1800 seconds. Uplinks to a remote site are probed at the uplink Timeout default rate of 2 seconds only if there is traffic at the site or if there is path failover, otherwise probing is backed off using the Max Backoff Interval. For the initial configuration push, the probes occur at the default rate of 1800 seconds. After that, the probes occur according to the values you have set for the Max Backoff Interval and the uplink’s Timeout field.
