Citrix SD-WAN Platforms

• Three ports are supported (apA.1, apA.2, and Primary), except for Amazon Web Services

instances, which support only a single port.

For step-by-step instructions on installing and deploying an SD-WAN VPX-SE, see the following:

• Installing VPX-SE on VMware ESXi – See Installing and Deploying an SD-WAN VPX-SE on ESXi.

• Installing SD-WAN VPX-SE on XenServer – The procedures for installing an SD-WAN Virtual WAN

(Standard Edition) VPX (SD-WAN VPX-SE) and an SD-WAN WAN Optimization appliance (WANOP

VPX) are similar. However, there are some critical dierences, as outlined in Dierences Between

an SD-WAN VPX-VW and WAN OP VPX Installation.

This section outlines the hardware and soware 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. This change is enforced using both CLI and UI.

• A system maintenance account - CBVWSSH, exists for development and debugging and has

no external login permissions. The account can only be accessed through a regular admin-

istrative user’s CLI session.

With 10.2.6 release, the default password is the serial number of the SD-WAN appliance and is man-

dated to change on first time logon. The LOM access will also be disabled.

Hardware requirements

The SD-WAN VPX-SE hardware requirements for the hosting platform are as follows:

• Virtual CPUs: 4 Core, 2.7 GHz (or equivalent) processor or better.

• Memory: 4 GB RAM

• Management Interface: 1 (default)

Disk space requirements
