What Are the Recommended Configurations for the Connector Machine?
CentOS 7.6, CPU: 2-4 cores, memory: 4-8 GB, disk: 100 GB or more. Deploy at least 2 connectors to achieve high availability.
How to Allow Network Traffic?
1. Ensure that the firewall on the machine where the connector resides has allowed traffic to the iOA gateway address.
2. Ensure that the firewall at the network egress where the connector resides has allowed traffic to the iOA gateway address.
How to Deploy a Windows Connector?
Double-click connector.exe to run the program.
How to Deploy a Linux Connector?
Run the following commands in order:
tar -zxvf connector-xxxxxx.tar.gz // Decompress the package
cd connector-xxxxxx // Go to the extracted directory.
chmod +x connector // Grant execute permission to the connector program.
./connector // Run the connector. Note: The connector will be automatically configured to start on system startup.
How to Configure the Connector Deployment to Start Windows Services on Boot?
When connector.exe is double-clicked and run, the program automatically enables auto-start on system boot.
If manual setup is required, go to the directory where the connector resides in Command Prompt (cmd) and run the following commands in order:
connector.exe -h and press Enter // View installation and uninstallation commands.
connector.exe install and press Enter // Run the installation command.
start connector?lY/N: Select Y and press Enter // Agree to the installation.
NET START connector // Start the service.
How to Configure the Connector Deployment to Start Linux Services on Boot?
Auto-start on system boot is automatically configured when the connector is installed.
For manual setup, see the following commands:
1.1 Go to the directory where the connector resides and run ./connector install.
1.2 To start the service, run systemctl start connector.
1.3 Check the service status with systemctl status connector.
How to Quickly Connect Multiple Branch Offices Through iOA?
1. You can configure the following settings based on different branches:
1.1 Configure one or more user directories without importing the organizational structure (create accounts and passwords manually).
1.2 Configure one or more connection groups (each branch corresponds to one or more connection groups), create connections in the connection groups, and deploy the connections on the private network servers of the corresponding branches.
1.3 Configure one or more resource groups (each branch's resources correspond to one or more resource groups), and bind the connection groups of the corresponding branches when adding resources.
2. Authorize resources for users.
What Are the Advantages of iOA Multi-Branch Access Compared with Traditional SD-WAN?
High reliability: iOA provides redundant paths and backup connections to ensure that when one branch or connection fails, other branches can continue to work normally. This redundancy improves the reliability and availability of the network.
More secure data: iOA can protect data security by enforcing security policies and encryption measures at each branch point.
Flexibility and scalability: iOA can be flexibly configured and expanded based on organizational needs. It can adapt to different network topologies and branch scales, and supports rapid deployment and management.
