Cloud Edge autodetects the Cloud Edge gateway's L2 and L3 interfaces.

Routing Mode

After registering the gateway on Cloud Edge, you must manage all interfaces with the exception of the WAN and LAN1 interfaces from Cloud Edge Cloud Console.
  • All interfaces are configured as L3 interfaces with IPv4 addresses.
  • You must configure the LAN2-LAN3 and MGMT interfaces with static IPv4 addresses.
    For Cloud Edge gateways with hardware switch chipset, you must configure LAN2-LAN8 and MGMT interfaces with static IP addresses.
    For Cloud Edge gateways with wireless functionality, you must configure the wireless network interfaces with static IP addresses.
Note
Note
You must configure WAN and LAN1 from the Cloud Edge on-premises console.

Bridge Mode

The Bridge Mode interfaces are read-only from Cloud Edge Cloud Console. You must configure and manage the bridge interface (br0) and physical interface settings from the Cloud Edge on-premises console.
  • The virtual bridge interface (br0) is the L3 interface that Cloud Edge uses to connect to the Internet and is assigned an IPv4 address.
  • All physical interfaces (other than the MGMT interface) are configured as L2 interfaces.
    You can configure the MTU setting on the physical L2 interfaces.
  • You can configure the MGMT port as an L3 interface from Cloud Edge Cloud Console.

Software Switch

Software Switch interfaces are read-only from Cloud Edge Cloud Console. You must configure and manage the bridge interface (br0) used in a software switch configuration and the physical interfaces from the Cloud Edge on-premises console.
  • The virtual bridge interface (br0) is the L3 interface that Cloud Edge uses to connect to the internet and is assigned an IPv4 address.
  • You must add at least three physical L2 interfaces to the software switch configuration, WAN and LAN1 and at least one of LAN2 or LAN3.
    You can configure the MTU setting on the physical L2 interfaces.
  • You can configure the MGMT port as an L3 interface from Cloud Edge Cloud Console.

Bridge Mode (With Switch Chipset)

Bridge Mode interfaces on gateways with hardware switch chipset are read-only from Cloud Edge Cloud Console. You must configure and manage the switch interface (sw0) used in a hardware switch configuration and the physical interfaces from the Cloud Edge on-premises console. However, switch interface (sw0) settings related to the level of intranet security (traffic that traverses between internal LAN ports) must be managed from Cloud Edge Cloud Console.
  • The virtual switch interface (sw0) is the L3 interface that Cloud Edge uses to connect to the Internet and is assigned an IPv4 address.
  • All physical interfaces (other than the MGMT interface) are configured as L2 interfaces.
    You can configure certain settings on the physical interfaces, depending on the Intranet Security mode setting selected for the gateway.
  • You can configure the MGMT port as an L3 interface from Cloud Edge Cloud Console.
Note
Note
Cloud Edge 300 does not have a LAN3 interface.
For all deployment modes and all Cloud Edge gateway models, you can enable or disable certain interfaces.
