Configuring System IP Address for a Gateway Device
The system IP configuration should be maintained on each gateway provisioned in HPE Aruba Networking Central. Each Gateway uses one VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN. interface as its system IP address for communicating with network services such as RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. An Industry-standard network access protocol for remote authentication. It allows authentication, authorization, and accounting of remote users who want to access network resources. , Syslog, TACACS+ Terminal Access Controller Access Control System+. TACACS+ provides separate authentication, authorization, and accounting services. It is derived from, but not backward compatible with, TACACS. , and SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. SNMP is a TCP/IP standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. Devices that typically support SNMP include routers, switches, servers, workstations, printers, modem racks, and more. It is used mostly in network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. .
You can assign a system IP address to gateways in Basic Mode. The System IP Address can be configured at the device level for both Branch Gateway and VPNC.
To configure a System IP Address for a device, complete the following steps:
- In the WebUI, set the filter to Global.
- Under Manage, click Devices, and then click Gateways.
A list of gateways is displayed in the List view.
- Click a gateway listed under Device Name.
The dashboard context for the device is displayed.
- Under Manage, click Device.
The device configuration page is displayed.
- Ensure that you are in the .
- Click > .
- Under , select one of the following methods to configure the system IP:
If you have not configured a system IP address pool during the group or the device configuration, complete the following steps from Configuration approach:
- Define system IP address—If you select this option, enter the system IP address in the IPv4 Address field and enter a value in the Netmask field.
- Specify static IP addresses later—Select this option if you want to define the system IP address at a later stage.
- These options will appear only when you are on-boarding the device for the first time.
- The administrator must configure system IP address for the HPE Aruba Networking Gateway to become completely operational.
If you have configured the system IP address pool for VLAN 4087, which is the reserved system VLAN and a Controller IP VLAN, then the VLAN Interface is a read-only field that displays VLAN 4087.
If you have defined a system IP address pool during group configuration or in the Loopback Interface during device configuration, complete the following step:
VLAN Interface—Select the VLAN interface from the drop-down list to assign an IP address to the VPNC.
- Click .
The following animation shows you how to configure System IP Address for Branch Gateway or VPNC.
