Overview of VPX Installation and Deployment
June 19, 2020
This section provides a summary of the steps involved for installing and deploying a
SD-WAN VPX-SE Virtual Appliance.
You can install SD-WAN VPX-SE on the following platforms:
• VMware ESXi – For instructions, see Installing and Deploying a SD-WAN VPX-SE on ESX.
• XenServer – The procedures for installinga SD-WAN VPX (VPX-SE) and a SD-WAN (WAN Optimiza-
tion) 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-
uct Documentation, available on the Citrix Documentation Portal (http://docs.citrix.com/). See
also, Dierences Between a SD-WAN VPX-SE and WANOP VPX Installation.
Summary of Procedures for Deploying a SD-WAN VPX-VW on ESXI
The following list summarizes the steps and procedures involved in deploying a SD-WAN VPX-SE on a
VMware ESXi server.
1. Gather your SD-WAN VPX-SE installation and configuration information. For instructions, see
SD-WAN VPX-SE Installation and Configuration Checklist.
2. Install the VMware vSphere Client. For instructions, see Installing the VMware vSphere Client.
3. Install and deploy the SD-WAN VPX-SE OVF Template. For instructions, see Installing and De-
ploying the SD-WAN VPX-SE OVF Template.
4. Configure the SD-WAN VPX-SE Management IP Address. For instructions, see Configuring the
Management IP Address for the SD-WAN VPX-SE
5. Connect to the SD-WAN VPX-SE and test the deployment. For instructions, see Connecting to
the SD-WAN VPX-SE and Testing the Deployment.
Virtual Ethernet Ports Per VPX-SE/VPXL-SE Platforms
June 19, 2020
In SD-WAN 9.3 release, the VPX-SE/VPXL-SE platforms support 4 Virtual Ethernet interface only. This
leads to deployment issues when multiple VLANs are mapped to the same interface (debuggability).
In SD-WAN 10.0, support for additional ports for VPX-SEhigh availability deployments between servers
is added. This support would enable customers to map high availability interfaces one-to-one to real
ports to avoid any hypervisor misconfiguration that would separate the virtual appliances and cause
