Launching the Edge Gateway in Megaport Virtual Edge

To launch the Aviatrix Edge Gateway in Megaport Virtual Edge (MVE), you must log in to your Megaport Portal to create the MVE and specify the cloud-init file for the Edge Gateway creation and create a Megaport Internet connection for the Management interface for the Edge Gateway authentication with the Aviatrix Controller. For instructions on how to create the MVE and Megaport Internet connection, see Aviatrix with Megaport Virtual Edge in the Megaport documentation.

You will need to create Megaport Internet VXC and attach to the eth2 interface of the Edge Gateway to allow the Edge Gateway access to the Aviatrix Controller.

Once the Aviatrix Edge MVE is created and provisioned, to complete the Edge Gateway authentication with the Aviatrix Controller, you must configure the Edge Gateway Management Egress IP address .

Configuring the Edge Gateway Management Egress IP Address

The Management Egress IP address of the Aviatrix Edge Gateway virtual device must be updated from the Aviatrix CoPilot so that the Security Group of the Aviatrix Controller is updated with the correct Egress IP address.

  1. Locate the public IP assigned by Megaport after Internet VXC is attached to the Aviatrix Edge Gateway eth2 interface.

    1. From Megaport Portal, go to Internet VXC attached to the Edge Gateway.

    2. Click on the VXC Details and note down the public IP address (IPV4).

  3. In the table, locate the Edge Gateway and click its Edit icon on the right.

  4. In the Edit Edge Gateway dialog box, scroll to Interface Configuration section, and click MGMT.

  5. Update the Egress CIDR with the Public IP of the Edge Gateway VM from the Megaport VXC Details. Use public IP/32 format, for example 162.43.142.19/32.
