VNF type | Required? | Description |
SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) edge | Required | Software-defined wide area network used to connect applications. On the Edge Gateway device, external interfaces connect directly to the WAN ports. In the virtual machine service chain, internal interfaces connect to firewall transit networks or LAN (local area network) virtual networks. |
Firewall | Optional | Firewall to protect the IT payload (virtual machines). On the Edge Gateway device, external interfaces connect to firewall transit networks. In the virtual machine service chain, internal interfaces connect to LAN networks. |
IT payload | Optional. You can have as many applications as the hardware can support depending on the device specifications (memory, storage, virtual cores). | Virtual machines you run on your Edge Gateway device. In the virtual machine service chain, LAN interfaces connect to LAN networks. |
SBC (session border controller) | Optional | Controls the network traffic of your Edge Gateway device. On the Edge Gateway device, external interfaces connect to WAN Edge SBC interfaces. In the virtual machine service chain, internal interfaces connect to LAN networks. |
The Edge Gateway service chain provides a mapping for layer 1 virtual wire connections between the physical ports and the logical ports in the VNFs. These virtual wire connections act like trunk ports. You must configure layer 2 (virtual LAN tag) and layer 3 (IP/routing) inside the VNFs.
The Edge Gateway device is available in three variations of the Lanner NCA-1515A (8 core) and Lanner NCA-1515F (16 core) chassis. Each of the variations has a US model and a global model. The US models include an LTE modem. The global models do not have this modem. The size (number of cores, available storage, and memory) of the model determines the type and number of applications you can run within the IT payload component. You cannot run more applications than the device is capable of running.
