Managing tenants

Tenants logically separate and isolate entities within the SD-WAN network. Each tenant sets its own management and configuration policies and has full control over its own networks and applications.

Within a multitenant network, multiple independent organizations, subdivisions, or clients use the same physical infrastructure and have their own virtual networks. In this case, a tenant cannot gain access to network resources assigned to another tenant. Multiple tenants can share the same IP address space.
