You can configure the Management IP address at the Profile-level and choose to override it at the Edge-level.

The following are the various scenarios when you can use the Management IP address:
  • It is used to source the management traffic from Edges to Orchestrator. In this scenario, you can either use the default Management IP address (192.168.1.1) or an IP address of your choice that you configure at the Profile-level so that all Edges attached to the Profile use the same IP address to source the traffic to the Orchestrator.
    Note: You can choose to ignore the Management IP configuration, if you have NAT Direct enabled on the WAN ports or if the traffic from the Edges is routed to the Orchestrator through a Gateway.
  • If you choose to configure services such as DNS, NTP, Netflow, BGP and so on, you must override the Management IP address configuration at the Edge-level so that each Edge has a unique IP address that can be used as the source address for these services.
  • It is also used as the destination IP address for diagnostic tests when configured at the Edge-level.
