This section provides an important overview of the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template and links where you can download the template.
CAUTION: Make sure to review and understand the template before deploying. The template is intended as a reference and may need to be altered to accommodate specific environments.
The default template is built to achieve a common deployment within Azure, representative of the basic topology illustrated in the next section. The ARM Template takes care of creating necessary resources, collecting the SD-WAN Orchestrator target and activation key to push via CLOUD-INIT. Below are the default values represented in the template.
- Instance Type: Standard_DS3_v2
- Attach Interfaces to VMware Instance (GE1 – WAN / GE2 – LAN)
- Allocate Public IP and attach to GE1
- Security Groups – Allowed Ports:
- UDP 2426 – VMware Multipath Protocol
- TCP 22 – SSH Access (for Support Access)
- UDP 161 – SNMP
- Public Route Table (UDR): 0.0.0.0/0 to Internet Gateway
- Private Route Table (UDR): 0.0.0.0/0 to Virtual Appliance (SD-WAN Edge GE2 IP address)
- Enable IP Forwarding on all interfaces
The template is built to accommodate either a “NEW” Virtual Network or an “EXISTING” Virtual Network. If using “EXISTING,” the vNET, subnets, and route tables are not created. Ensure vNET name, subnet name, and IP scheme reflect accurately with the existing environment.
While this template will activate a virtual edge, the simplicity of the topology will not accommodate all environments. It is up to the individual user to edit their environment accordingly.
