Configuring Appliances

1 From the main menu, select Appliances to finish the configuration of your appliances.

All your provisioned appliances are listed with their names, configuration statuses, assigned Sites, serial numbers and Mac addresses.

2 Select every appliance line and consecutively edit the configuration of all the appliances by entering some remaining mandatory parameters that are still undefined in the General, LAN and WAN panes. These parameters were not extracted from the applied template because they are specific to each appliance.

You can notice that most parameters cannot be changed because they belong to the template. Modifying these parameters overwrites the configuration of the template and a message informs you that the current appliance is no longer associated with any template.

General

3 You can change the Appliance Name.
4 If you select another template, all default parameters are updated according to the default configuration of the new appliance template.

All the other parameters are extracted from the applied template.

LAN

5 If you defined one or several VLAN(s) in the appliance template, enter the VLAN Prefix Length, Management IP address and Router 1, 2, 3 IP addresses. This information is mandatory.

Note that you can add VLAN(s) without overwriting the appliance template.

All the other parameters are extracted from the applied template. You can override them to configure the appliances in BGP, VRRP, OSPF, IHAP, etc.

• VLAN
• Dynamic LAN Routing

iBGP protocol is used between the Core Router and the appliances of a Data Center

OSPF protocol is used between the Core Routers and the appliances of a Data Center

• High-Availability (HA)

VRRP protocol is used between the appliances of a Branch Office

IHAP (Ipanema High Availability Protocol) is used between the hybrid or bridge appliances of a Branch Office

• Static Route
• Subnet

WAN

6 Consecutively select the WAN1, WAN2 and WAN3 interfaces.
7 For an interface in Bridge mode, enter the mandatory Access Router IP Address.
8 For an interface in Router mode, enter the data in the Optional Settings section:
• Public IP Address which corresponds to the WAN side of the Internet Access router to which the WAN interface is connected. The Port Forwarding configuration of the Internet Access router enables this device to send the UDP packets to the appliance WAN on ports 500 (IKEv2) and 4500 (IPsec NAT Traversal). The Internet Access router also modifies the Egress packets in order to replace its public address with the WAN static address as destination address.
• If DHCP has been activated in your template, you can deactivate it in this section and enter new attributes.
9 When you have configured all your appliances, click Save.
10 Finally, click Deploy Configuration on the Appliances window to send your appliance configurations to the system. This is the only ExtremeCloud SD-WAN window where network deployment can be executed.
11 From the main menu, select Onboard. Your sites and associated appliances are displayed on the Google map.
