Edge Gateway support

Lumen® Edge Gateway enables you expedite your on‑premise operations by using and managing a device storing a virtual machine service chain.

Managing Edge Gateway

The Lumen Edge Gateway device enables you to set up an on‑premise virtual machine service chain. Only network, security, and IT specialists should work with the Edge Gateway device and applications. Edge Gateway supports four types of VNFs (virtual network functions). Each type determines where it stands in the service chain.

Lumen Edge Gateway Manager

Use Lumen Edge Gateway Manager to manage your Edge Gateway devices. With this application, you can add and configure VNFs (Virtual Network Functions) and connections used by your device.


SD‑WAN applications

Edge Gateway enables you to deploy an SD‑WAN (software‑defined wide area network) on your device 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.

SD‑WANs are required.

You can deploy the following on Edge Gateway:
 

SBC applications

Edge Gateway enables you to deploy an SBC (session border controller) on your device to control network traffic. 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.

SBCs are optional.

You can deploy the following on Edge Gateway:

IT payload applications

Edge Gateway enables you to deploy IT payloads containing virtual machines on your device. In the virtual machine service chain, LAN interfaces connect to LAN networks.

IT payloads are optional. You can have as many applications as the hardware can support depending on the device specifications (memory, storage, virtual cores).

You can deploy the following on Edge Gateway:

Firewall applications

Edge Gateway enables you to deploy a firewall on your device 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.

Firewalls are optional.

You can deploy the following on Edge Gateway:
 

Edge Gateway devices

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.
