WAN connections can be configured either during deployment or later through the Sites tab. For more information on configuring during deployment, see How to Create a T/VT Site Configuration in Barracuda SecureEdge. The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows you to create a PPPoE WAN interface on sites and private Edge Services during initial deployment via their respective wizards. In addition, you can add a PPPoE WAN interface to any existing site or private Edge Service with a free port.
