Cloud & Branch Connector
About Locations
Locations identify the various networks from which your organization sends its cloud traffic. When you deploy Zscaler Cloud Connector or Zscaler Branch Connector, Zscaler automatically creates a location. The Zscaler service uses a location template with defined attributes to help create the location.
Locations provide the following benefits and enable you to:
- Identify the locations and sublocations from which your organization sends its workload traffic.
- Apply forwarding and security policies to workload traffic.
- Configure various settings such as Firewall Control, Acceptable Usage Policy (AUP), Caution, Authentication, and XFF Forwarding.
- Enforce Bandwidth Control and specify the maxiumum bandwidth limits for download and upload.
About the Locations Page
On the Locations page (Administration > Locations), you can do the following:
- View a list of all locations and the number of associated sublocations.
When you click the number under the Sublocations column, the View Sublocation window appears. You can configure sublocations in the ZIA Admin Portal. To learn more, see Understanding Sub-Locations and Configuring Sub-Locations.
