Record WAN circuits and VPN tunnels
Carrier, bandwidth, cost and contract on a link; tunnels drawn with Draw → VPN tunnel; renewals in the WAN report.
WAN circuits
- On the Network view, open the link from a site to its internet or MPLS cloud.
- On the WAN circuit tab, tick This link is a WAN circuit from a carrier.
- Fill in the details you have, then click Save:
- kind, carrier and circuit ID
- bandwidth, monthly cost and contract end
- support phone and a note
The link's label shows the carrier and bandwidth. The diagram assistant warns 90 days before a contract ends.
VPN tunnels
- On the Network view, choose Draw → VPN tunnel at the top left of the canvas.
- Drag from one device to the other. The tunnel's editor opens.
- Set its type (IPsec, WireGuard, SSL or GRE), a name, which end brings it up (the IKE initiator, the SSL client, or the WireGuard peer that dials out), each end's public and tunnel addresses, and the networks it protects.
- Fill in the type's own parameters underneath: for IPsec the IKE version, authentication, IDs and the IKE and ESP proposals; for WireGuard the public keys, ports and keepalive; for SSL the protocol, port, TLS key and cipher; for GRE the key, MTU and keepalive.
Tunnels draw as dashed violet lines. Addresses and IDs are encrypted at rest. Pre-shared keys and private keys are never stored -- use the note to say where they live.
The WAN report
Reports → WAN lists every circuit and tunnel in the network. Circuits come soonest-renewal first, with monthly and yearly cost. Download it with CSV.
