Installation Parameters

Before you proceed with the installation, ensure that the following is ready:

• Number of Nodes: Number of nodes being used for installation. Based on the requirement select nodes.
• Following parameters are required for each of the A10 Control interfaces:
  • IP address and Subnet prefix: The IP address that is being allocated to A10 Control. This IP address cannot be changed after deployment without impacting the deployment.
  • Gateway IP address: Gateway address of the subnet.

  • DNS IP address: IP address of the DNS server.

    NOTE:

    If a nameserver is not configured, the A10 Control VM will not be able to resolve the URLs of enterprise servers or Internet resources. Evaluate if this impacts the connectivity requirements in your specific environment.

  • Floating IP Address: This is applicable only for single-node with multi-interface and multi-node Installations.

    A floating IP address is assigned to the master node in the multi-node setup.

    In case the master node fails, the floating IP address is automatically moved to the next node. All external communication happens through the floating IP address.

• ISO file: Download the A10 Control Image File from the A10 Networks Support portal.

NOTE:

Only IPv4 addresses are supported in A10 Control 1.0.0 release. SSH access is available only via the interface IP address, as there is no support for SSH connections using the Floating IP. On single-node with multi-interface and multi-node installations, the GUI access is available via the Floating IP address of the management interface.
