When you use a Smart Access Gateway (SAG) device to connect private networks to Alibaba Cloud, you can configure the device in the SAG console. Alternatively, you can log on to the local SAG web console to configure the device. SAG version 2.0.3 is used in this example.
Background information
Step 1: Configure the local client
Before you can configure the SAG-1000 device in the local web console, you must configure a static IP address for the local client.
- Windows clients: Configure a static IP address for a Windows client. Windows 10 is
used in the following example.
- In the lower-right corner, right-click the network connection icon, and then click Network and Internet.
- In the right-side panel, click Change adapter settings.
- Right-click the connected network, and then click Properties.
- Double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
- Select Use the following IP address, and then enter the static IP address and subnet mask.
Notice Make sure that the IP address you enter is falls into the management CIDR block of the SAG-1000 device (the default CIDR block is 192.168.0.0/24) and does not overlap with other IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.99. You do not need to configure the gateway or DNS settings.
- Click OK.
- Mac clients: Configure a static IP address for a Mac client.
- On the desktop, click the System Preferences icon, and then click in the Internet & Network section.
- Click the connected network, and then click Advanced.
- On the Ethernet page, click the TCP/IP tab.
- In the Configure IPv4 drop-down list, select Manually and enter the static IP address and subnet mask.
Notice Make sure that the IP address you enter falls into the management CIDR block of the SAG-1000 device (the default CIDR block is 192.168.0.0/24) and does not overlap with other IP addresses, such as 192.168.0.99. You do not need to configure the router or DNS settings.
Step 2: Set the password
If this is your first time logging on to the web console, you must set the logon password.
- The SAG-1000 device is powered on.
- A static IP address is configured for the local client. For more information, see Step 1: Configure the local client.
Step 3: Configure the SAG-1000 device
After you log on to the web console of the SAG-1000 device, you can configure the device. SAG-1000 provides multiple features to meet your requirements in different deployment scenarios. For more information about how to connect private networks to Alibaba Cloud through SAG-1000, see Deploy an SAG-1000 device.
- Assign port roles.
- Configure a WAN port.
- Configure a LAN port.
- Configure the management port.
- Configure the routes.
Optional. Step 4: Advanced configurations
The SAG-1000 device supports advanced configurations such as leased line ports and high availability (HA).
- Configure leased lines.
- Configure HA.
