Creating SD-WAN controller template data in Site Planner

Before you can create VPCs or VNets in the Wired portal, you must create template data in Site Planner for SD-WAN controllers, such as VMware SD-WAN and Cisco SD-WAN.

1. Log in to the IBM Cloud Pak® console. For login steps, see Logging in to the IBM Cloud Pak console.
2. From the navigation menu, click Define > Infrastructure Devices.
3. Create controller profiles for the SD-WAN controllers.
   Complete the following substeps for the VMware SD-WAN controller, then repeat them for the Cisco SD-WAN controller:

   1. In the Site Planner UI, click Clouds > SDWAN CONTROLLER > Controller Profiles > +.
   2. In the Name field, enter a name of your choosing.
   3. In the Controller profile type dropdown, select the appropriate profile type for the controller, that is, VMware SD-WAN or Cisco SD-WAN.
   4. In the Properties field, add the controller's fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and configuration template properties:
