For example, consider two different appliances with a different numbers of bridges and where they are cabled
differently:
The first appliance has two bridges, br10 and br20, where br10 is mapped to the "Internet" Circuit Type and br20 is
mapped to the "MPLS' Circuit Type.
The second appliance has four bridges, br10, br20, br30, and br40, where br10 is mapped to "Voice", br20 is mapped
to "Internet", and br30 and br40 are mapped to "MPLS".
If you add the common Circuit Types used above to Library items, you can reuse the named Circuit Types when
performing the bridge/circuit type mapping in the Optimizer Policy Tree.

Working with bridge/circuit type mapping
For an appliance to receive the Optimizer Policy Tree configuration rooted with a particular circuit, the bridge for an
appliance must be mapped to the same Circuit Type as that Circuit. That is, if the circuit is bound to circuit type 'Internet'
and the appliance bridge(s) is mapped to 'Internet', then the circuit configuration sent to that appliance is bound to the
specific bridges.
The Bridge/Circuit Type Mapping list shows each appliance in the appliance group. You can edit the Bridge/Circuit
Type Mapping for each appliance. A warning icon appears next to each appliance that does not have any of its bridges
mapped. This warns that the appliance will not be sent any part of the Optimizer Policy Tree configuration. Also, the
warning icon will be shown in the blue menu (on the left) next to the Bridge/Circuit Type Mapping menu item, if there
are any appliances with a warning icon.
Create and map the circuit types to the appliance's bridges
1. Go to Configured Appliances > Bridge/Circuit Type Mapping .
2.

of the appliance to bind the circuit type to the bridge.
