Deploy a HA Edge Spoke Gateway (Megaport)
|
To create a highly available (HA) Edge Gateway, follow these steps.
Step 1: Gateway Configuration
-
Go to Cloud Fabric > Hybrid Cloud > Edge Gateways tab.
-
Click Spoke Gateways
-
In the table, locate the primary Edge Gateway for which you want to create the HA gateway and click its Edit icon.
-
In Edit Edge Gateway, from the High Availability dropdown menu, select Active-Active or Active-Standby mode.
-
Click Next to configure the edge gateway interfaces.
Step 2: Interface Configuration
You can configure multiple WAN interfaces on the Edge gateway. Megaport MVE supports a maximum of 5 interfaces. Aviatrix Edge Spoke Gateway requires at least one WAN, one LAN, and one MGMT, additional two interfaces can be WAN interfaces.
Configuring the WAN Interface
-
Click + WAN Interface, then provide the following information.
Parameter Description Interface
This is set to the Edge Gateway’s logical interface.
Adding multiple WAN interfaces is applicable when Edge Gateway is used for BGP underlay to CSP. Add an interface per CSP underlay (such as Direct Connect or Express Route). When Edge Gateway is not terminating CSP underlay, use one interface per Edge Gateway to connect to upstream router.
DHCP for dynamic IP address assignment is not supported.
Interface Labels
A name to identify this WAN interface.
BGP
To enable BGP on the Edge Gateway, set this switch to On.
WAN support for BGP underlay to CSP is supported for AWS and Azure. Interface CIDR
The CIDR for the WAN interface.
Default Gateway IP
The Default Gateway IP address for this WAN interface.
For CSP underlay, this is the remote side IP address of the BGP session on CSP VNG or VGW.
-
If BGP is turned On, provide the following information:
Parameter Description Local ASN
The ASN of the Edge Gateway.
Remote ASN
The ASN of the CSP side peering connection such as private VIF on VGW (AWS) and VNG ASN (Azure).
Password (optional)
The MD5 authentication key.
| To change or update the Edge Gateway WAN connectivity to Transit Gateway, you will need to first detach the Edge-to-Transit gateway attachment, if there is an attachment. |
Configuring the LAN Interface
-
Click LAN, then provide the following information.
Parameter
Description
Edge Gateway Interface
This is set to eth1.
DHCP for dynamic IP address assignment is not supported.
Interface Labels
Enter a name to identify this LAN interface.
Interface CIDR
The CIDR for the LAN interface.
Default Gateway IP
(Optional) The Default Gateway IP address for this LAN interface.
Configuring the Management Interface
-
Click + MGMT interface. Leave the default settings and click Save.
Leave the Private Network setting to Off. In the Megaport Fabric, the MGMT interface of the Edge Gateway is assigned the Public IP address that is allocated by Megaport.
-
To create the ZTP cloud-init image file, click Save and Download Configuration.
CoPilot downloads the ZTP cloud-init file to your Downloads folder.
The cloud-init image file expires after 24 hours. You cannot download it again and will have to repeat the above steps to recreate the file. You must launch an Edge MVE on the Megaport platform and deploy the Edge Gateway within the 24 hours.
