Creating and managing repair tickets for SD-WAN service

To create a repair ticket for SD-WAN, the process is the same as if you were creating any new repair ticket. If you don't know the service ID, you can search for the service (using the instructions above). Complete the remainder of the ticket as normal. 


If you don't have permission to manage SD-WAN for your company, you won't be able to submit a repair ticket for the service. If you need to be able to manage this service, contact your system administrator and request your permissions be changed.


You can also monitor repair tickets and keep current with their status and set up alerts for changes in status.
