Citrix SD-WAN Series User Manual

Citrix SD-WAN Platforms
• Download the SD-WAN VPX-SE set up files.
• Obtain SD-WAN VPX-SE license files.
Also, before installing an SD-WAN VPX-SE virtual appliance, label all the interfaces that you plan to
assign to VPX virtual appliances, in a unique format. In large deployments, labeling these interfaces
in a unique format helps in quickly identifying them between other interfaces used by other virtual
machines, such because Windows and Linux virtual machines. Such labeling is especially important
if dierent types of virtual machines share interfaces.
SD-WAN VPX-SE requires non-default networking options. Between other things, you create two new
virtual switches (vswitch0 and vswitch1) for the accelerated bridge, which must be assigned to two
dierent virtual switches.
Installing the VMware vSphere Client
This section provides basic instructions for downloading and installing the VMware vSphere client you
use to create and deploy the SD-WAN VPX-SE virtual machine.
Note
See also your VMware vSphere Client documentation for additional information.
1. Open a browser and navigate to the ESXi server that hosts your vSphere Client and SD-WAN VPX-
SE virtual machine (VM) instance. The VMware ESXi Welcome page displays.
