Citrix SD-WAN VPX Standard Edition June 19, 2020 Citrix SD-WAN Standard Edition is a virtual Citrix SD-WAN appliance that can be hosted on Citrix XenServer, VMware ESX or ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon AWS-virtualization platforms. An SD-WAN VPX appliance supports most of the features of a physical Standard Edition or WANOP appliances.
Installation. Prerequisites January 21, 2021 This section outlines the hardware and software requirements for Citrix SD-WAN Virtual Appliance (SD-WAN VPX-SE), and defines the platform dependencies. NOTE • From 10.2.6 and 11.0.3 release onwards, it is mandatory to change the default admin user account password while provisioning any SD-WAN appliance or deploying a new SD-WAN SE VPX.
SD-WAN network, as compared to a SD-WAN VPX for WAN Optimization. The primary differences when installing and configuring a SD-WAN VPX-SE virtual appliance from SD- WAN WANOP VPX, are as follows: • Download the following installation files from the Citrix SD-WAN downloads site (http://www. citrix.com/downloads.html).
VPX are very similar. For instructions on installing a SD-WAN WANOP VPX on XenServer, see the chapter entitled, “CloudBridge VPX,” in the document entitled, Citrix CloudBridge 7.4 Prod- Documentation, available on the Citrix Documentation Portal (http://docs.citrix.com/). See also, Differences Between a SD-WAN VPX-SE and WANOP VPX Installation.

The WAN Elastic IP is needed for enabling the overlay communication between different sites to the Outpost based Citrix SD-WAN appliance and have the IP connectivity to the external world. This would be the Public IP of the WAN Link that we will provide for an MCN or a Branch. This IP is essentially to be known by all the remote appliances/peers to help have an overlay control/data channel establishment.

Citrix SD-WAN VPX WANOP June 19, 2020 Citrix SD-WAN WANOP VPX is a virtual Citrix SD-WAN appliance that can be hosted on Citrix XenServer, VMware ESX or ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Amazon AWS-virtualization platforms. An SD-WAN WANOP VPX appliance supports most of the features of a physical SD-WAN WANOP appliances.
• 10 Mbps • 20 Mbps • 45 Mbps • “Bring your own license,” which uses a standard Citrix license to determine the licensed band- width. Besides the hardwired licensing, the major difference between SD-WAN WANOP-VPX for Amazon AWS is that it supports only a single port for both management and acceleration. This means that the appliance cannot be used in inline mode.

A hard disk drive (HDD) stores logs and other data files. Files stored on the HDD include the newnslog files, dmesg and messages files, and any core/crash files. The HDD comes in various capacities, de- pending on the Citrix SD-WAN platform. Hard drives are used for storing files required at runtime. An HDD is mounted as /var.
Note Some Citrix SD-WAN appliances do not require SFP transceivers. Ports are used to connect the appliance to external devices. The Citrix SD-WAN appliances support RS232 serial ports, 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet ports, fiber 1G SFP ports, and 10-gigabit fiber SFP+ ports. All SD-WAN appliances have a combination of some or all of these ports. For details on the type and number of ports available on your appliance, see the section describing that platform.
Power Supply January 28, 2020 Citrix SD-WAN appliances are configured with a single power supply. For an SD-WAN 3000 WANOP appliance, you can order a second power supply. Citrix SD-WAN 4000, 5000 WANOP/SE, 4100, and 5100 SE appliances are configured with dual power supplies but can operate with only one power supply.

Citrix SD-WAN Platforms To install or replace an AC power supply on a Citrix SD-WAN 4000/5000 appliance 1. Align the semicircular handle perpendicular to the power supply. Loosen the thumbscrew and press the lever toward the handle and pull out the existing power supply, as shown in the fol- lowing figure.
Replace solid-state drive The SD-WAN 4000/5000 software is stored on the solid-state drive (SSD). For Citrix SD-WAN 410 appliance, the on-board SATA disk controller must support at least two devices. Support for SATAv3 (6 Gbps) is available. To replace a solid-state drive 1.
Important: When you insert the drive, make sure that the Citrix product label is at the top if the drive is inserted horizontally or at the right if the drive is inserted vertically.
To seat the drive, close the handle flush with the rear of the appliance so that the hard drive locks securely into the slot. Important: When you insert the drive, make sure that the Citrix product label is at the top. Figure 2. Inserting the Replacement Hard Disk Drive 5.
Important SD-WAN 4100/5100 appliances do not support 10G SFP+ transceivers provided by vendors other than Citrix Systems. Attempting to install third-party 10G SFP+ transceivers on your SD-WAN 4100/5100 appliance voids the warranty. To install a 10G SFP+ transceiver 1.
5. Put the 10G SFP+ transceiver into its original box or another appropriate container.
