So now that the global manager knows about site one and site two,
and we've also given it a few minutes to initialize,
our next logical step is to import the configurations from site one and site
two
into the global manager.
So let's head over to the global manager and we'll do that now.
So here at the global manager prior to importing the configs,
if we click here on networking, currently this global manager knows about no
tier zero gateways,
no tier one gateways, no segments, nothing.
However, once we import the configs,
it'll know about what other configs are regarding tier zero and tier one gate WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
it'll know about what other configs are regarding tier zero and tier one gate
ways
and segments at site one and site two.
So again, if we click here on tier one gateways for a moment,
notice there's nothing there at the moment.
So let's click on system and with the system tab selected on the left,
we're going to click on location manager and with location manager selected.
Now if we scroll down here, showing us that for site one,
we can go ahead and import the config and it looks like we still need to give
it a moment or two here for site two.
So let's here for site one, let's click right here on import.
It's also saying that a backup is mandatory. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So here it's showing us the last backup, which is what we did a couple of
videos ago in preparation for deploying our global manager.
So that's already done.
If we wanted to get another backup, we click there and that would automatically
do another backup of the local manager.
The one we have will do.
So I'll go ahead and click here on proceed to import.
So what it's about to import are 18 objects regarding network, one DHCP,
two tier one gateways, one tier zero gateway.
And what I'm going to do down here is to keep them sorted inside of the global
manager.
I'm going to prefix of site dash one dash and that way any of the objects that WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
I'm going to prefix of site dash one dash and that way any of the objects that
come in, they'll have a site dash one dash in front of it with an example shown
right here.
And that way it'll be very clear to see where those objects came from.
So I'm going to go ahead and add that site dash one dash prefix and click on
next.
It's now giving us the confirmation of what's going to be imported and we'll
click on import.
All right, so that's in the process right here of doing the import little
progress bar right there.
So here it's showing us that it's importing the services is 20% complete.
There's also a little graphical representation. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
There's also a little graphical representation.
It's 80% complete.
Fantastic.
And it's been a few minutes since we brought in site to.
So let me go ahead and let me bounce off this page.
Let me go to, for example, system overview and then go back down to location
manager and then scroll down.
And now that looks a lot better here for site to check it out.
Because we found objects and policies in this location.
Do you want to import them?
So once again, we can click right here on import or we go to actions and from
the drop down, we can click on import.
Either way is great.
So let's go ahead and click on import for site two. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So let's go ahead and click on import for site two.
It's checking to see if we have a backup in place.
We do.
It's the one we did earlier together.
So I'll click right here on proceed to import.
I'm also going to add a prefix here for all these from site to so I'll type in
site dash two dash and that way it'll put that in front of all the objects here
and click on next.
So here's a summary of what's about to happen, including 44 objects in site two
are being prepared to import and we'll click on import and we'll give that a
minute or two to complete.
All right. So that is importing and it's at 40% and it's done. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
All right. So that is importing and it's at 40% and it's done.
Fantastic.
So you successfully imported site to into global manager.
So now if we were to hear in the global manager, go to the networking tab and
look at the network overview.
So now showing that the global manager is aware of two tier zero gateways for
tier one gateways and six segments.
And those are all the gateways and segments associated with those two sites.
And if you want to see the details of those, we could go to, for example, tier
one gateways and that would show us those for tier one gateways.
If we go to tier zero gateways, here's the two tier zero gateways, one that's WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
If we go to tier zero gateways, here's the two tier zero gateways, one that's
at site one and other ones at site two.
And if we needed to import some more sites, we could go ahead and go to system
on the left. Once again, click on location manager and then scroll down and
simply click on add on Prem location.
Daddy, a third or fourth or fifth site, just by repeating that process for the
additional sites that we want to onboard.
So now that our global manager has imported the config from site one and also
from site two.
Before we create any stretch to shared gateways or segments, we also need to WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Before we create any stretch to shared gateways or segments, we also need to
make sure that our edge nodes in each of the sites have not only their taps
used for insight communications and tunnels, but also the R taps they're going
to need if they need to communicate between the two sites.
And an example of that would be this VM here on a common segment that needs to
communicate with this VM on that same common segment.
The actual communication path would go from the local ESXi host the transport
node and the edge nodes here in site one would use the R tap addresses as they
communicate with the edge nodes in site two. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
communicate with the edge nodes in site two.
So the next step in our journey then is to implement the R tap addresses on the
edge nodes here in site one and site two.
And we'll do that in the next video. So I'll see you there in just a moment.
