Part 1 - Physical Installation
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.
Static Assignment of IP Address
If an IP address is not dynamically assigned to wan0 or wan1, then you
must congure it manually. To do this, access the appliance conguration
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).
