Network Edge and Cisco SolutionsPlus

Cisco SolutionsPlus allows you to order Cisco Catalyst 8000V SD-WAN Network Edge assets in the Cisco Commerce Workspace (CCW). You can manage the entire life cycle of your Catalyst 8000V SD-WAN Network Edge device through Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (formerly Cisco vManage), and you will be billed directly by Cisco based on consumption using a pay-as-you-go model.

To order Network Edge using the SD-WAN Manager under the Cisco SolutionsPlus program:

  1. Log in to the CCW and sign up for Cisco SolutionsPlus. You will receive an email that includes your user ID and your SolutionsPlus subscription ID and outlines the steps to completing your registration.

  2. If you are new to Equinix and don’t have an account with Network Edge, create a new user. (See New User Registration for Network Edge for more information.) If you already have a Network Edge account, skip this step and proceed to step 3.

  3. Log in to Network Edge and review and sign the Digital Services Agreement (DSA) for SolutionsPlus. Within 2 to 4 hours of signing the DSA, you will receive an email indicating that your account has been set up.

In the meantime, while your account is being set up, generate your developer credentials in the Equinix Developer Platform. You will use these credentials to access Network Edge services in SD-WAN Manager.

  1. Log in to Equinix Developer Platform.

  2. Click App Dashboard.

  3. In the My Apps section, click + New App.

  4. In the New App box, enter a name for the app and click Create.

  5. Your new app will display in the My Apps section. Click on it.

  6. The authentication details will display. Copy the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret. These will be used in the Cisco SD-WAN Manager to associate the interconnect account.

You will not be able to place orders through the SD-WAN Manager until you receive the email indicating that your account has been set up. Once you receive this email, log in to SD-WAN Manager and configure it to provision Network Edge services. See Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Cloud Interconnect with Equinix for configuration instructions.

You can now start ordering SD-WAN devices and virtual connections through the SD-WAN Manager.
