About Sites, Networks, Uplinks, and Regions : Configuring sites
  
Configuring sites
You can configure sites under Manage > Topology: Sites & Networks. Click + Add a Site to display the pop-up window. These configuration options are available:
Basic Information
Specifies the basic information for the site:
• Site Name—Specify the name of the site: for example, DCEurope. Site names should reflect the location or region so that you can track issues. The site name must be unique and can’t contain special characters. Site names can contain spaces.
• Site Type—Specify the site type. The basic site types are predefined: Data Center, Branch, and Headquarters. A maximum of 16 site types can be defined.
• Region—Specify the region in which the site is located. Regions help in reporting and troubleshooting problems.
• Description—Optionally, provide the intent of this site so that others can easily understand what this site is used for.
A new site type and site region are created when the site is created.
Contact Information
Specifies the contact information for the site:
• Name—Specify the name of the person responsible for the site.
• Job Title—Specify the job title for the person responsible for the site.
• Email—Specify the email address for the contact person for the site.
• Address—Specify the address for the site.
• City/Town—Specify the city or town for the site.
• State/Province—Specify the state or province for the site.
• Country—Specify the country the site.
Riverbed Appliances
Specifies the connection information for Riverbed peers for the site:
• Add Appliance—Specify the hostname or serial number for the site peer. You must enter each peer separately. The peer must be registered (that is, added as an appliance) in SCC.
When you add a site in the SCC you don’t have to specify the IP addresses of the SteelHeads at each given site because the SCC dynamically adds them to the site configuration that it sends to the SteelHeads.
Custom Probe Endpoint
Allows path selection users to specify, on a per site basis, specific endpoints to be probed to determine path availability rather than having the SCC automatically use that site's SteelHead in-path interfaces as probe endpoints. For service sensitive path selection deployments, custom-probe endpoints can better distinguish between true path availability versus false positives or inaccurate assumptions of service availability. You use the custom probe feature to define, on a per site basis, IP addresses that must be available for a path to be considered available to use. IP addresses must be separated by a comma or semicolon.
Network Information
Specifies the subnets for the site. Separate subnets with a comma, a semicolon, or a new line. You must list all the subnets either manually or copy and paste them from a spreadsheet.
Internet Traffic
(Use only when path selection is enabled.) Specifies how internet access is achieved at this site.
• Direct to Internet—Traffic is sent based on path selection rules configured. Typically, the data center is specified as Direct to Internet because it isn’t backhauling traffic through any remote branches.
• Backhaul through site—Specify the subnet to backhaul traffic through the site. All out-bound traffic is sent or relayed to the specified site, no matter what path selection rule is configured. The backhaul traffic option sends all unknown traffic to whatever site you choose in this field—this becomes the default site on the SteelHead. On the SteelHead, the default site is automatically renamed after you push your settings. You don’t need to configure the default site on the SteelHead. You simply choose it on the SCC.
Uplinks
• Click + Add New Uplink to display the controls. For detailed information, see Configuring uplinks.

• Select a site connectivity template from the drop-down list if you have configured one. For detailed information about configuring a site connectivity template, see Configuring site connectivity templates.
