  • 1.  Microbranch/VPNC No Tunnel

    Posted Oct 30, 2025 10:52 AM

    Hi all, 

    I'm setting up a lab for Microbranch and VPNC. I have both devices in Central, both assigned to their respective groups and online. Completed the following tasks:

    • Created the DHCP Pool at Global
    • Created manual cluster in VPNC group with manual override, enabled VPN termination & defined Public IP
    • Created a WAN Uplink in Microbranch group with INET type
    • Created a WLAN in the Microbranch group with a CL2 type, selected the VPNC cluster I defined

    However, I'm not seeing any attempts to hit the Public IP at our firewall. I feel like I must be missing a step to have the Microbranch AP attempt to build the IPSEC tunnel on UDP4500, but I'm just not seeing it. Any advice or recommendations to try? 

    Thank you!

    I worked with support and was able to get the tunnel established. For anyone else struggling with this setup, here is what I needed: 

    Global Group

    • Under Network Services, define System IP Pool

    VPNC Group

    • Under High Availability, configure cluster
    • Under VPN, set SD-WAN Overlay mode to Orchestrated
    • Enable Orchestrator Peering

    VPNC Device

    • Under WAN, define Uplink with public and private IPs

    Microbranch Group

    • Under System -> IP Addressing, assign System IP Pool
    • Under WAN -> WAN Uplink, configure WAN Uplink
    • Under Tunnel & Routing -> Data Center, define Hub group
    • Under Tunnels & Routing -> Policy-based Routing, create policy for tunnel/split-tunnel
    • Under Wireless -> WLAN, create a WLAN
    • Under Security -> Policies & Access Control, select the User Role and add the PBR rule

    Verify by logging into console of Microbranch AP or running the following command: show ata endpoint
