Configure network interfaces in a web browser

The Secure SD-WAN Configuration Wizard can automatically detect which network cards are in use.

Note: If you imported a configuration file, the information is filled in automatically.

Steps

  1. To change the mapping of the interface IDs, select Change the Mapping.
    1. Change the IDs as necessary to define how the interfaces are mapped to the interface IDs that you defined for the engine element in the Management Client.
      For bypass interface modules, map the interface IDs of inline interfaces to even-odd pairs of ports on the appliance. For example, map Interface ID 1 to port eth2_0 and Interface ID 2 to port eth2_1.
    2. If necessary, select the Speed/Duplex column to change the settings to match those used by the device at the other end of the link.
      Make sure that the speed/duplex settings of network cards are identical at both ends of each cable. For IPS and Layer 2 Engines, also make sure that the speed/duplex settings of the inline interfaces match the speed/duplex settings of both links within each inline interface pair.
  2. (Modem interfaces only) Map the modem number to the IMEI of the modem.
    1. Select Setup modems.
      The first modem number is automatically mapped to the IMEI of the modem. You can optionally change the modem number.
    2. Select Stored, then select OK.
  3. Select Save, then select Next.
  4. Select the interface to use for management connectivity.
    The Management interface must be the same interface on which the control IP address for the corresponding element is configured in the SMC.
  5. If the Management interface is on a VLAN interface, enter the VLAN ID.
  6. Set the interface type.
    • If the interface is a dynamic interface that receives its IP address from a DHCP Server, select Dynamic IPv4 Address (DHCP).
    • If the interface is dynamic interface that receives its IP address from a PPPoE Server, select Dynamic IPv4 Address or Dynamic IPv6 Address (PPPoE Server), select PPPoE Settings, then fill in the account details according to the information you have received from your service provider.
    • If the interface is a static interface, select Static, then enter the IP address and netmask.
  7. Select Next.
  8. Enter the IP address of the Management Server.
  9. If the Management Server is not located in a directly-connected network, enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway in the Default Gateway field.
  10. Select Next.
