General Rules

ip|engine identification

You can precisely identify the type of any ip|engine in your network through its Serial Number.

Serial Number Format

The Serial Number is made of 12 characters as follows: MmmyyEnnnnRr, where:

M: Manufacturer initials
mm: month of manufacture (01 to 12)
yy: year of manufacture (18 for 2018)
E: engine type

W

ip|e 30so

X

ip|e 30ax

I

ip|e 40so

J

ip|e 40ax

U

ip|e 40so V2

V

ip|e 40ax V2

K

ip|e 400ax

A

ip|e 2000ax-T

B

ip|e 2000ax-Sx

C

ip|e 2000ax-Lx

D

ip|e 2000ax-10GSr

E

ip|e 2000ax-10GLr

nnnn: serial n° (0001 to 9999)
Rr: revision (R for major revision, r for minor revision): starting with A0

Example: A0218X0001A0 corresponds to a Serial Number of the first ip|e 30ax manufactured by Aaeon on February 2018.

Note: The Serial Numbers provided as examples in the use cases of the current documentation are virtual.

Serial Number Format

The Serial Number of a virtual|engine is a UUID generated by the system.

Example: 564D2D58-2F7A-A81E-C84D-C95F3DA3C83C

IP Address allocation

The following diagrams display SD-WAN Orchestrator automatic LAN side IP address allocation with an ip|engine in full router, hybrid and bridge modes. All three WAN interfaces of the ip|engine are enabled. Note that you may also configure these addresses manually.

You must configure the Management IP address in the SD-WAN Orchestrator.

Light blue arrows represent iBGP automatic connections
Dark blue arrows represent iBGP connections you must configure in the SD-WAN Orchestrator
Green arrows represent the connections you must configure on the Core Router (the SD-WAN Orchestrator is not used)

Warning: iBGP configuration is done with the internal LAN interfaces of the embedded RT routers of the ip|engine.

Full Router Mode

RT1 IP address = Mgt IP address +1

RT2 IP address = Mgt IP address +2

RT3 IP address = Mgt IP address +3

Hybrid Mode

 

RT2 IP address = Mgt IP address +2

RT3 IP address = Mgt IP address +3

Bridge Mode

There is no automatic LAN side IP address allocation with an ip|engine in bridge mode.

Note: A router may be a CE Router (MPLS router), an Internet Access Router or a Core Router.
