EdgeConnect
EC-US
Part 1 – Physical Installation
Before You Begin
- Check your packing slip to verify that you have all the necessary items.
- On the network equipment, identify the 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports.
IMPORTANT – READ THIS FIRST: You must install and register your Orchestrator with the Silver Peak Cloud Portal BEFORE setting up an EdgeConnect appliance. After Orchestrator is registered with your account name and key, you can proceed with EdgeConnect installation. If you don’t know or are unsure what role the Orchestrator plays, please contact your network architect or deployment lead.
Install the Appliance into the Network
a. Identify the relevant ports on the rear of the appliance.
b. Connect the supplied network cables from the appliance to the identified
network equipment ports.
c. DO NOT connect the power cable yet.
All copper RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the Silver Peak appliance support MDI/MDI-X and auto-negotiation.
Connect Power Cord
Connect the power cable to the Silver Peak appliance and to your local power source.
Turn the Power On
a. The appliance powers up as soon as it’s plugged in.
b. On the front panel, verify that the Power LED illuminates green.
You’ve now completed the physical installation and are ready to register the product with Unity Orchestrator.
Static Assignment of IP Address
If an IP address is not dynamically assigned to wan0 or wan1, then you must
configure it manually. To do this, access the appliance configuration wizard
through lan0.
Silver Peak assigns the lan0 ethernet interface a default IP address of
169.254.0.1 and a subnet mask of /16 (the same as 255.255.0.0).
