General Rules
Appliance identification
You can precisely identify the type of any SD-WAN appliance in your network through its Serial Number.
The Serial Number is made of 12 characters as follows: MmmyyEnnnnRr, where:
| • | M: Manufacturer initials |
| • | mm: month of manufacture (01 to 12) |
| • | yy: year of manufacture (18 for 2018) |
| • | E: appliance type |
|
W |
ipe-30so |
|
X |
ipe-30ax |
|
U |
ipe-40so-v2 |
|
V |
ipe-40ax-v2 |
|
K |
ipe-400ax |
|
Y |
ipe-420ax |
|
A |
ipe-2000ax-T |
|
D |
ipe-2000ax-SR-10G |
|
E |
ipe-2000ax-LR-10G |
| • | nnnn: serial n° (0001 to 9999) |
| • | Rr: revision (R for major revision, r for minor revision): starting with A0 |
Example: A0218X0001A0 corresponds to a Serial Number of the first ipe-30ax manufactured by Aaeon in February 2018.
Note: The Serial Numbers provided as examples in the use cases of the current documentation are virtual.
The following diagrams display SD-WAN Orchestrator automatic LAN side IP address allocation with an appliance in full router, hybrid and bridge modes. All three WAN interfaces of the appliance are enabled. Note that you may also configure these addresses manually.
You must configure the Management IP address in the SD-WAN Orchestrator.
| • | Light blue arrows represent iBGP automatic connections |
| • | Dark blue arrows represent iBGP connections you must configure in the SD-WAN Orchestrator |
| • | Green arrows represent the connections you must configure on the Core Router (the SD-WAN Orchestrator is not used) |
Warning: iBGP configuration is done with the internal LAN interfaces of the embedded RT routers of the appliance.
Full Router Mode
|
|
RT1 IP address = Mgt IP address +1 RT2 IP address = Mgt IP address +2 RT3 IP address = Mgt IP address +3 |
Hybrid Mode
|
|
RT2 IP address = Mgt IP address +2 RT3 IP address = Mgt IP address +3 |
Bridge Mode
|
|
There is no automatic LAN side IP address allocation with an appliance in bridge mode. |
