Appliance XL-Type Supermicro

Welcome to the SCION world! Here you can find initial connection instructions for your Anapaya XL-type device to set it up as an EDGE appliance. When installing the appliance as a CORE appliance you may need to change the port assignment. Once the device is unpacked and installed in your rack environment, on the rear panel (depicted below) connect power both on port A and port B.

On the front panel of the device:

  1. Plug the QSFP28 transceiver into port e0 and connect the LAN access fiber optics to it.

  2. Plug another QSFP28 transceiver into port e1 and connect the WAN access fiber optics to it.

  3. Optionally, connect the BMC port to the management network.

  4. Turn the device on by pressing the power button P.

Note

Your support may indicate other ports to connect the cables to. If, for example, RJ45 patch cables are used, port 5 will be the LAN port an port 6 the WAN port. Instead of transceivers and fibers, also DACs can be used (Direct Attached Cables).

After a few minutes, the system should have booted, and you should see a login prompt.

Note

If the IP addresses has not been assigned automatically via DHCP:

  1. Connect a keyboard and a monitor to the device.

  2. Authenticate to the appliance using the default credentials (login: anapaya and password: anapaya).

  3. Once logged in, you can setup the WAN IP parameters as indicated by your support. For more information consult docs.anapaya.net.
