Set-up Edge Router and NMS communication using VPN [RECOMMENDED]
These steps below load Open VPN certificates into NMS and Edge Router. The steps are performed
only once
for
NMS, and
only once
for each Edge Router, and then the Edge Router can be switched between “transparent”
and “standalone” modes indefinitely without the need to re-load certificates.
Only if the root CA was changed on the Cloud-Based NOC (or when the Edge Router needs to connect to a
different cloud-Based NOC, with a different root CA) the Edge Router will need to load a new certificate –
generated using the new root CA.
NOTE
The certificate sets for Edge Router and NMS must be delivered in
.tar.gz
format.
The Edge Router certificate set is specific per Edge Router.
Do NOT attempt to use a certificate set built for an Edge Router on a different Edge Router.
The Edge Routers are delivered with a set of certificates pre-installed. The certificate set is compatible only with
Cloud-based NOC hosted by Nivis.
There’s no need to upload new certificate set on Edge Routers connecting to Nivis-hosted Cloud-based NOC.
In any other case, the certificate set needs to be uploaded to the Edge Router
