Citrix SD-WAN Platforms
Install Citrix SD-WAN SE VPX on Google Cloud Platform
February 28, 2020
Deploying Citrix SD-WAN SE VPX on GCP enables organizations to establish a direct and highly secure
connection between branches and applications hosted on GCP. It eliminates the need to backhaul
cloud bound traic through the Data Center. The key benefits of using Citrix SD-WAN on GCP are:
• Create direct connections from every branch site to GCP.
• Ensure an always-on connection to GCP.
• Extend your secure perimeter to the cloud.
• Evolve to a simple and easy to manage the branch network.
Citrix SD-WAN Standard Edition for GCP logically bonds multiple network links into a single secure
logical virtual path. The solution enables organizations to use variety of connections from dierent
service providers to get highly resilient virtual WAN paths. These virtual paths function as an over-
lay to seamlessly aggregate bandwidth capacities across multiple links and deliver consistent user
experience even if some of the member links go down or suer degradation. This is enabled by the
per-packet load balancing and monitoring capabilities of Citrix SD-WAN.
Summary of deployment steps
1. Choose a region where you want to deploy the instance and create three VPCs in dierent sub-
nets.
NIC Associated network
NIC 0 (default) Management subnet
NIC 1 LAN subnet
NIC 2 WAN subnet
Note
If you are creating a new management subnet, allow port 443 in its firewall rules.
2. Create a Citrix SD-WAN SE instance and associate the interfaces with the VPCs.
3. Create firewall rules on WAN subnet VPC to enable ingress on UDP port 4980. It is used by Citrix
SD-WAN instance to create the virtual path.
4. Create a route on LAN subnet VPC to intercept all the traic generated from LAN.
