Deployment Requirements

The VE6120K or VE6125K are distributed in the compressed raw disk images for the manually configured KVM virtual machine (VM). The appliances must be deployed on a KVM server host.
Note

Note

VE6120K and VE6125K use separate deployment raw images. You cannot upgrade from VE6120K to VE6125K.
Note

Note

You only need to deploy raw images when you first create the appliance VM. All subsequent upgrades can be performed using the standard controller upgrade procedure to apply a .dve file to the VE6120K appliance and .mfe file for the VE6125K appliance.

In addition, the appliances are configured with one Ethernet interface for administration and two data plane Ethernet interfaces for forwarding payload traffic.

The best practice is to connect them to separate bridges in the host server.
