Creating an Edge Gateway

Edge Gateways are associated with tenants, and several can be created per tenant. Deploying an edge gateway is a two-step process:

  • First, an edge gateway is provisioned from Anyware Manager Enterprise.
  • The installation command generated during provisioning is used to deploy the Edge Gateway on a server.

Info

The following restrictions apply to the user accounts performing this operation:

  • Organization Admins can add edge gateways to all tenants.
  • Global Tenant Admins and Tenant Admins can add edge gateways to tenants assigned to them.

Step I: Provision the Edge Gateway

  1. Log in to Anyware Manager Enterprise.

  2. On the Tenants page, click the tenant you want to add an edge gateway to.

  3. Click Manage > Gateways.

  4. On the Gateways page, click + Add gateway.

  5. On the Add Gateway pop-up, provide the following details:

    • Gateway name: A name for this edge gateway. The name can be 2 to 90 characters long, and can only contain alphanumeric characters, blank spaces, and dashes.

    • Site: The site that you want to associate with this Edge Gateway. The linked sites will preferentially route session traffic through the edge gateway over other gateway options.

    • FQDN/IP Address: The Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or the IP address of the server where you want to deploy the Edge Gateway.

    • Port number: The port number that the edge gateway will use for receiving and sending data requests from Anyware clients.

  6. Click Create gateway to generate an installation command.

  7. Keep this installation command handy.

The gateway will be added to the gateway list, and will not be activated until it is successfully deployed on an edge server. At this point, its status will show as "Unhealthy".

Step II: Deploy the Edge Gateway

  1. Make sure that the edge server meets all the minimum requirements.

  2. Log on to the edge server as an administrator.

  3. Open Command Prompt.

  4. Run the command generated in step I to begin the installation of the Edge Gateway.

  5. Wait until the installation completes.

  6. Log on to Anyware Manager Enterprise, and check the status of the edge gateway.

    • The status "Failed" indicates that the installation did not complete successfully
    • The status "Available" indicates that the installation of the edge gateway completed successfully, and it can connect to Anyware Manager Enterprise
