In order to design the network configuration for using NS Appliance, define the following information:
The information defined here will be used when configuring the environment of NS Appliance and when registering network devices.
Host name (equivalent to the device name for a network device)
SNMP community
Administrator information (user name, password, and privileged administrator password)
Management method (PING, SNMP)
Admin IP address, VLAN ID
Define the IP address and VLAN ID of the network used by dedicated servers for NS Appliances and individual NS Appliances.
In the following cases, use different VLANs for the dedicated servers for NS Appliances and individual NS Appliances.
When ensuring the security of the admin LAN of each tenant individually
When there are not enough IP addresses on the admin LAN
In the example network configuration shown below, "100" is used for the VLAN ID and the same VLAN is used for the dedicated servers for NS Appliances and individual NS Appliances.
Admin LAN settings
When using the same VLAN for the dedicated servers for NS Appliances and individual NS Appliances
For the admin LAN for the NS Appliances, configure a VLAN (untagged).
When using different VLANs for the dedicated servers for NS Appliances and individual NS Appliances
For the admin LAN for the NS Appliances, configure a VLAN (tagged).
Communication Route (NIC)
For the NICs to be used, refer to "1.4.3 Admin LAN NIC Configuration".
NICs are shared between the public LAN and the admin LAN.
Admin LAN routing information (routing information)
Define the following items during "2.1.3 Designing the L-Platform Network Environment".
NS Appliance type (firewall or integrated network device) and automatic configuration modes
Public LAN IP address, VLAN ID
Public LAN routing information (routing information)
Number of L-Platforms which can be deployed on an NS appliance
