Example-4: The example below shows how to assign router to a device template and list all the variables required for template assignement.

Info: For variables under Security Policies, they are defined a bit differently with a vedgePolicy/ prefix. For example, a variable named zbfw_dip_pl_1 in security policy will be defined as vedgePolicy/zbfw_dip_pl_1

Example-5: The example below shows how to use the management_ip_variable field for direct-to-device (D2D) testing. This field specifies which device variable contains the management IP address for SSH connectivity. The global setting at the sdwan level applies to all devices, while a per-router setting overrides the global default.

sdwan:
# Global management_ip_variable - applies to all devices (2nd preference)
management_ip_variable: "vpn10_Lo10_if_ipv4_address"
sites:
- id: 100
routers:
# This router uses the global management_ip_variable
- chassis_id: C8K-AAA11111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
configuration_group: branch_type1
device_variables:
system_ip: 10.0.0.1
vpn10_Lo10_if_ipv4_address: 10.1.1.1/32
# This router overrides with its own management_ip_variable (1st preference)
- chassis_id: C8K-BBB22222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222
configuration_group: branch_type1
management_ip_variable: "vpn512_mgmt_ip"
device_variables:
system_ip: 10.0.0.2
vpn10_Lo10_if_ipv4_address: 10.1.1.2/32
vpn512_mgmt_ip: 192.168.1.100/24

Note: The management_ip_variable field is used by the nac-test testing framework to determine which IP address to use for SSH connections during direct-to-device (D2D) tests. The referenced variable must exist in the router’s device_variables and contain a valid IPv4 address (with or without CIDR notation).

Example-6: When using Multi-Region Fabric (MRF) with configuration groups (SD-WAN version 20.15+), the region_id field can be included in device_variables to assign the device to a specific MRF region (valid values: 0–63). Without it, deploying a configuration group will have the device in the Global Region (region 0).

The following 3 examples below show policy_variables for the three CoR-SaaS device_role values. See policy_groups/policy_group.md for the full variable catalog and conditional requirements.

Example-8: The example below shows how to provide the CoR for SaaS variables when assigning the role of dia to the router, this example configures the router to not use SIG interfaces by setting the variable to false. It provides a list of TLOC list to use and enables load balancing.

!!! info For variables under Security Policies, they are defined a bit differently with a vedgePolicy/ prefix. For example, a variable named zbfw_dip_pl_1 in security policy will be defined as vedgePolicy/zbfw_dip_pl_1

Example-5: The example below shows how to use the management_ip_variable field for direct-to-device (D2D) testing. This field specifies which device variable contains the management IP address for SSH connectivity. The global setting at the sdwan level applies to all devices, while a per-router setting overrides the global default.

sdwan:
# Global management_ip_variable - applies to all devices (2nd preference)
management_ip_variable: "vpn10_Lo10_if_ipv4_address"

vpn10_Lo10_if_ipv4_address: 10.1.1.2/32
vpn512_mgmt_ip: 192.168.1.100/24

!!! note The management_ip_variable field is used by the nac-test testing framework to determine which IP address to use for SSH connections during direct-to-device (D2D) tests. The referenced variable must exist in the router’s device_variables and contain a valid IPv4 address (with or without CIDR notation).

This includes site and device specific configuration including device variables.
