How to Add a Site-to-Site Connection or a WAN Connection in the Model Editor

Perform one of the following Model Editor tasks to add a site-to-site connection, which connects two sites, or to add a WAN connection, which connects a site to a WAN.

The available bandwidth of a connection is an important factor when Capacity Planner simulates communication between two sites, because it calculates utilization based upon the bandwidth available to the link.
