4 VFA Instructions
This section describes the Network Configuration and VM Deployment for Virtual Field Agents. Currently the Virtual Field Agent is
normally distributed as one of the possible Virtual Machines on a Control Server. To learn more about Control Servers, please see
GEH-
6851 Control Server – High Availability (HA) Maintenance Guide
and
GEH-6852 Control Server – Simplex Maintenance Guide
4.1 Network Configuration
The VFA is configured with three networks; a WAN, LAN1 and LAN2. Here are the default IP addresses.

ens34
ens35
NOTE: It is important that the networks above are mapped to the identified network interface. If either VMware vCenter® or VMware
vSphere® Client is used to generate the Virtual Machine, then the above network interfaces should automatically be used, without the
user needing to do anything special. However, if VMware Workstation Pro™ is used, it may default the network interfaces differently.
In this case, after the user has generated the Virtual Machine, they should power down the Virtual Machine. Then edit the vmx file to
make sure the pcislotnumbers correspond to the ens numbers shown in the table above. If changes are made, make sure that there are no
duplicate pcislotnumbers; they may need to be changed for other hardware. For more information on changing the IP Address, please
see the
Configure the Network
section of this document.
4.2 Configuration Mode
Configuration Mode allows access to the Web Console. Configuration Mode is always enabled on the Virtual Field Agent.
4.3 Virtual Machine Deployment
The VFA Virtual Machine is intended to be run using VMware ESXi™. There are three main files that compromise a Virtual Machine
Deployment, a *.vmdk (Virtual Machine Disk Format), a *.ovf (Open Virtualization Format) and a *.mf file (Contains a security hash
corresponding to the .vmdk and .ovf files). If instructions are needed for how create a Virtual Machine from this collection of files, then
please refer to the section “VM Import from OVA or OVF File” in either the
GEH-6851 Control Server – High Availability (HA)
Maintenance Guide
or
GEH-6852 Control Server – Simplex Maintenance Guide.
The HA Control Server uses VMware vCenter. The
Simplex uses VMware vSphere Client.
4.4 Virtual Machine Snapshots
Note, once the VFA is up and working it is recommended that a snapshot be made of the VM for backup purposes.
