Deploy an SAG-1000 device
This guide covers the end-to-end process of deploying a Smart Access Gateway (SAG) SAG-1000 device — from activating the hardware to verifying cloud connectivity.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Purchased and received an SAG-1000 device. To purchase, see Purchase an SAG device). Devices ship within two business days after the order is placed
Access to the SAG console
Deployment steps
Complete the following tasks in order.
| Step | Task | Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Activate the device and associate it with the SAG instance | Yes |
| 2 | Assign roles to device ports | No |
| 3 | Connect the device to your private network | Yes |
| 4 | Configure the device in the web console | Yes |
| 5 | Advertise routes to Alibaba Cloud | Yes |
| 6 | Associate the SAG instance with a network | Yes |
| 7 | Verify connectivity | Yes |
Step 1: Activate the device and associate it with the SAG instance
Activate the SAG-1000 device and link it to the SAG instance created when you placed the order.
Step 2: Assign port roles (optional)
SAG-1000 lets you assign roles to device ports based on your business requirements. Skip this step if the default port configuration meets your needs.
Step 3: Connect the device to your private network
Physically connect the SAG-1000 to your on-premises network. SAG-1000 supports one-arm mode, which lets you integrate the device without changing your existing network topology.
Step 4: Configure the device in the web console
Log in to the SAG-1000 web console and complete the device configuration.
Step 5: Advertise routes to Alibaba Cloud
Configure routing synchronization between the SAG device and your local terminal.
Step 6: Associate the SAG instance with a network
Connect your SAG instance to Alibaba Cloud using the method that matches your connectivity type:
Internet connection — Associate the SAG instance with a Cloud Connect Network (CCN) instance: Associate with an SAG instance
Leased line — Associate the SAG instance with a virtual border router (VBR): Attach a network instance
Step 7: Verify connectivity
You can check the connectivity status in the SAG console.
