Install VirtualBox and add a virtual network adapter for the Nuage SD-WAN lab, then configure the adapter's IP address to connect to the lab network.
Copy lab images to the Kimmo folder on the GNS3 server, then drag them in to avoid large-file freezes, preparing NSG, IOS, DNS PoPs, and HP BSR.
Configure the first virtual service controller (vsc) with the management and control interfaces and static routes. Set the system name and address to establish the Nuage sd-wan control plane.
Install and configure the second VSC on the VSD by adding the management and control interfaces, wiring the BSD connection, bringing the VSC online, and verifying connectivity.
Install Elasticsearch in a lab setup to monitor inter-branch traffic and latency, configure networking and DNS, and run a standalone Elasticsearch instance for visibility.
In this course we will be going through the installation of the Nuage SD-WAN in GNS3. This is not a official Nuage course, This is a step by step lab covering the installation of all the components and prerequisite services based on my experience with product in GNS3. The lab is designed with two branch sites connected to the datacenter where all the management and the control planes are located.
