Prerequisites for Aviatrix Secure Edge Deployment for On-Premises
The following are the prerequisites to deploy an Aviatrix Edge Gateway for on-premises on the Aviatrix Edge platform.
1. Procure the Edge Hardware
If you do not already have your edge hardware, you need to evaluate the hardware that you require for your edge computing and procure the hardware. Contact your Aviatrix account manager for the hardware you may require.
For a list of Aviatrix supported hardware appliances, see Aviatrix Secure Edge - Hardware Specifications.
2. Obtain the Hardware Serial Number
To register edge hardware with the Aviatrix Edge platform, you will be required to provide the hardware serial number. Obtain the serial numbers for your edge hardware.
3. Set Up the Aviatrix Edge Platform Account
To onboard and register the edge hardware appliance with the Aviatrix Controller, you will need to first set up an Aviatrix Edge Platform Account.
To set up the platform account, see Setting up Accounts for Edge Platforms.
4. Onboard the Edge Hardware
You must onboard and register the edge hardware appliance with the Aviatrix Controller, before you can deploy an Edge Gateway on the edge hardware.
To onboard edge hardware, see Onboarding Edge Hardware for the Aviatrix Edge Platform.
5. Obtain Edge Gateway Interface IP Configurations
You will need to provide the following information during Edge Gateway creation to configure your Edge Gateway interfaces.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
WAN Interface IP/Mask |
The WAN IP address. |
WAN Default Gateway |
The Default Gateway IP address for the WAN interface. |
LAN Interface IP/Mask |
The LAN IP address. |
LAN Default Gateway |
The Default Gateway IP address for the LAN interface. |
Management Interface IP/Mask |
The MGMT interface defaults to DHCP. This setting cannot be changed. The Edge Gateway will automatically NAT out of the physical MGMT interface of the edge node when using the Aviatrix Edge Platform. |
Management Default Gateway |
The MGMT interface defaults to DHCP on the Aviatrix Edge Platform and cannot be changed. |
Management Egress IP |
The Management Egress IP address to be allowed in the Controller Security Group. |
VRRP |
The VRRP IP address. Not required if not using VRRP. VRRP can be configured only if HA gateway is configured. |
VLAN ID |
The VLAN ID for each VLAN segment. |
VLAN IP |
The VLAN IP address for each VLAN segment. |
VLAN Default Gateway |
The Default Gateway IP address for each VLAN segment. |
6. Provide Network Access
