In addition to the default Gateways, you can create Gateways and associate them with Enterprise Customers.

To create a Gateway , perform the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the Partner portal, click Gateways.
  2. In the Gateways page, click Actions > New Gateway.
  3. In the New Gateway window, configure the following details:
    1. Name – Enter a name for the new Gateway Pool.
    2. IPv4 Address – Enter the IPv4 address of the Gateway.
    3. IPv6 Address – Enter the IPv6 address of the Gateway.
      Note:
      • Once you have created a Gateway, you cannot modify the IP addresses.
      • Release 4.3.x and 4.4.x support Greenfield deployment of Gateways for IPv6. If you have upgraded a Gateway from a previous version earlier than 4.3.0, you cannot configure the upgraded Gateway with the IPv6 address.
      • Release 4.5.0 supports both the Greenfield and Brownfield deployment of Gateways for IPv6. If you have upgraded a Gateway from a previous version earlier than 4.5.0, you can dynamically configure IPv6 address for the Gateway.
      • IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack mode is not supported for Bastion Orchestrator configuration.
    4. Service State – Select the service state of the Gateway from the drop-down list. The following options are available:
      • In Service: The Gateway is connected and available.
      • Out of Service: The Gateway is not connected.
      • Quiesced: The Gateway service is quiesced or paused. Select this state for backup or maintenance purposes.
      Note: The Quiesced and Out of Service states are only applicable for Cloud Gateway deployment.
    5. Gateway Pool – Select the Gateway Pool from the drop-down list, to which the Gateway would be assigned.
    6. Authentication Mode – Select the authentication mode of the Gateway from the following available options:
      • Certificate Not Required: Gateway uses a pre-shared key mode of authentication.
      • Certificate Acquire: This option is selected by default and instructs the Gateway to acquire a certificate from the certificate authority of the SD-WAN Orchestrator, by generating a key pair and sending a certificate signing request to the Orchestrator. Once acquired, the Gateway uses the certificate for authentication to the SD-WAN Orchestrator and for establishment of VCMP tunnels.
        Note: After acquiring the certificate, the option can be updated to Certificate Required.
      • Certificate Required: Gateway uses the PKI certificate.
    7. Contact Name – Enter the name of the Site Contact.
    8. Contact Email – Enter the Email ID of the Site Contact.
    9. Click Create.
