Configure Static IP Addressing for ION devices in Virtual Environments

With virtualized workload environments, Prisma SD-WAN expects IP addressing via DHCP for all interface types (Controller, Public, and Private LAN interfaces). If the

Prisma SD-WAN

ION device requires a static IP address assignment, you can configure the ION device once it boots up into the virtualization environment. In the subsequent examples, we will configure the ION device’s Port 1 for internet connectivity which will then allow connection to the controller.

You will need to log in to the ION device with the unclaimed device credentials. These will be provided by your

Prisma SD-WAN

team.

Log in to the ION device and verify that the interface did not receive an IP address.



To configure the Port 1 on the ION device, you can configure the port based on the appropriate IP addressing for your environment.

ion toolkit# config interface 1 ip static address=203.0.113.81/30 gw=203.0.113.82 dns=8.8.4.4

Once configured, verify that the appropriate port is now configured correctly.



Test the interface for internet connectivity, which will then allow the ION device to contact the controller and show up as an unclaimed device.
