Manage Gateway Pools and Gateways
Arista network consists of multiple service Gateways deployed at top tier network and cloud data centers. The Gateway provides the advantage of cloud-delivered services and optimized paths to all applications, branches, and data centers. Service providers can also deploy their own Partner Gateways in their private cloud infrastructure.
Manage Gateway Pools
A Gateway Pool is a group of Gateways.
Gateways can be organized into pools that are then assigned to a network. An unpopulated default Gateway pool is available after you install Orchestrator. If required, you can create additional Gateway pools.
The New Gateway Pool and Download options are available only for Partners with Gateway management access activated. If the Gateway management access is deactivated for a Partner, then the Partner will have only read-only permission for the configured Gateway pools. To request Gateway Management access, Partners must contact the Operator Super user.
To manage Gateway pools, perform the following steps:
- In the Orchestrator UI, select the Gateway Management tab and go to Gateway Pools in the left navigation pane.
The Gateway Pools page appears.

Manage Gateways
VeloCloud Gateways are a distributed network of gateways, deployed around the world or on-premises at service providers, provide scalability, redundancy and on-demand flexibility. The Gateways optimize data paths to all applications, branches, and data centers along with the ability to deliver network services to and from the cloud.
By default, the Gateways named as gateway-1 and gateway-2 are available when you install Orchestrator. If required, you can create additional Gateways.
Partner Super user and Admin with Gateway management access activated can create, manage, and delete Gateways created by a Partner or Partner managed Gateways created by an Operator. The Partner IT support users can only view the configured Gateways.
To manage Gateways, perform the following steps:
- In the Orchestrator UI, select the Gateway Management tab and go to Gateways in the left navigation pane.
The Gateways page appears.
Figure 7. Manage Gateways 
To search a specific Gateway, enter a relevant search text in the Search box. For advanced search, select the Filter icon next to the Search box to filter the results by specific criteria.
The Map Distribution section is used for displaying the Gateways on a map. You can select the + and - buttons to zoom in and zoom out the map, respectively.
The Gateways table displays the existing Gateways with the following details.
Table 3. Existing Gateways Field Descriptions Field Description Name Name of the Gateway Status Reflects the success or failure of periodic heartbeats sent by mgd to the Orchestrator and does not indicate the status of the data and control plane. The following are the possible statuses: - Connected – Gateway is heart beating successfully to the Orchestrator.
- Degraded – Orchestrator has not heard from the Gateway for at least one minute.
- Offline – Orchestrator has not heard from the Gateway for at least two minutes.
CPU Average CPU utilization of all the cores in the system at the time of the last heartbeat. Memory Percentage usage of the physical memory by all processes in the system as reported by psutil.phymem_usageat the time of the last heartbeat.

Once acquired, the Gateway uses the certificate for authentication to the Orchestrator and for establishment of VCMP tunnels.
Note: After acquiring the certificate, the option can be updated to Certificate Required.Note: With the Bastion Orchestrator feature enabled, the Gateways that are to be staged to Public Orchestrator should have the Authentication mode set to either Certificate Acquire or Certificate Required.
- Certificate Required- Gateway uses the PKI certificate. Operators can change the certificate renewal time window for Gateways using the system properties.
Contact Name Enter the name of the Site Contact. Contact Email Enter the Email ID of the Site Contact. Note:- Once you have created a Gateway, you cannot modify the IP addresses.
- Release 4.3.x and 4.4.x support Greenfield deployment of Gateways for IPv6. If you have upgraded a Gateway from a previous version earlier than 4.3.0, you cannot configure the upgraded Gateway with the IPv6 address.
- Release 4.5.0 supports both the Greenfield and Brownfield deployment of Gateways for IPv6. If you have upgraded a Gateway from a previous version earlier than 4.5.0, you can dynamically configure IPv6 address for the Gateway.
- IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack mode is not supported for Bastion Orchestrator configuration.
Once you create a new Gateway, you are redirected to the Configure Gateways page, where you can configure additional settings for the newly created Gateway.To configure additional settings for the Gateway, see Configure Gateways.
Configure Gateways
When you create a new Gateway, you are automatically redirected to the Configure Gateways page, where you can configure the properties and other additional settings for the Gateway.
To configure an existing Gateway:
- In the Overview tab, you can configure the following details:
Figure 9. Configure Gateways Overview Screen 
Table 5. Configure Gateways Field Descriptions Option Description Properties Displays the existing Name and Description of the selected Gateway. If required, you can modify the information. You can also configure the Gateway Roles, as required:- Data Plane- Enables the Gateway to operate in the Data plane and is selected by default.

- Cloud-to-Cloud Interconnect- Select the option to enable cloud-to-cloud-interconnect (CCI) tunnels on the VeloCloud Gateways.
Note: This Gateway Role option is shown if the
session.options.enableZscalerCcisystem property is set to True. - Symantec Web Security Service: Enables the Gateway's Symantec Web Security Service capability. The Orchestrator assigns this Gateway to the Edge as WSS Primary Gateway or WSS Secondary Gateway.
Note: This assignment works only when the Gateway Pool's Partner Gateway Handoff is not set to Only.
Status You can configure the following details: - Status- Displays the status of the Gateway which reflects the success or failure of periodic heartbeats sent to the Orchestrator. The following are the available statuses:
- Connected- Gateway is heart beating successfully to the Orchestrator.
- Degraded- Orchestrator has not heard from the Gateway for at least one minute.
- Offline- Orchestrator has not heard from the Gateway for at least two minutes.
- Service State- Select the Service State of the Gateway from the following available options:
- In Service- The Gateway is connected, and it is available for Primary or secondary tunnel assignments. When the Service state of the Gateway is switched from the 'Out Of Service' to 'In Service' state, the Primary or Secondary assignments, Super Gateways, Edge-to-Edge routes are recalculated for each Enterprise using the Gateway.
- Pending Service- The Gateway is connected, and it is pending for tunnel assignments.
- Out of Service- The Gateway is not connected or not available for any assignments. All the existing assignments are removed.
- Quiesced- The Gateway service is quiesced or paused. No new tunnels or NSD sites can be added to the Gateway. However, the existing assignments would still remain in the Gateway. Select this state for backup or maintenance purposes.
Note: The Quiesced and Out of Service states are only applicable for Cloud Gateway deployment.
When the Service state is Quiesced, Orchestrator provides a self-service migration functionality that allows you to migrate from your existing Gateway to a new Gateway without your Operator’s support.
For additional information, see Migrate Quiesced Gateways.
Note: Self-service migration is not supported on Partner Gateways.
Connected Edges Displays the number of Edges connected to the Gateway. This option is displayed only when the Gateway is activated. Gateway Authentication Mode Select the authentication mode of the Gateway from the drop-down menu: - Certificate Deactivated- Gateway uses a pre-shared key mode of authentication. If you change the mode from Certificate Deactivated to:
- Certificate Acquire: Tunnels based on PSK mode are not impacted. Only tunnels with Gateways are impacted. These tunnels are reconnected based on certificate. All tunnels configured with PSK mode continue to stay active and no disruption is seen in the traffic.
- Certificate Required:: The Orchestrator does not directly allow this change. You must first change the mode to Certificate Acquire, and then change it to Certificate Required. This helps avoiding heartbeat loss to the Orchestrator, when Edge is assigned a certificate.
- Certificate Acquire- This option is selected by default and instructs the Gateway to acquire a certificate from the certificate authority of the Orchestrator, by generating a key pair and sending a certificate signing request to the Orchestrator. Once acquired, the Gateway uses the certificate for authentication to the Orchestrator and for establishment of VCMP tunnels. If you change the mode from Certificate Acquire to:
- Certificate Deactivated: PSK based tunnels are not impacted. Tunnels with Gateways and all certificate-based tunnels are disconnected and reconnected based on PSK.
- Certificate Required: All peers configured with PSK mode are disconnected and cannot connect to the Hub. All current RSA tunnels stay active.
When the Hub is in Certificate Acquire mode, the tunnels based on the certificate are reestablished with new certificate. PSK based tunnels are not impacted.
Note: After acquiring the certificate, the option can be updated to Certificate Required. - Certificate Required- Gateway uses the PKI certificate. Operators can change the certificate renewal time window for Gateways using the system property
gateway.certificate.renewal.window. If you change the mode from Certificate Required to:- Certificate Deactivated: All peers with RSA tunnel are disconnected and cannot reconnect. All peers configured with PSK mode continue to stay active and no disruption is seen in the traffic.
- Certificate Acquire: All peers configured in PSK mode reconnect with Hub/Gateway. All current RSA tunnels stay active.
Note:- When Gateway certificate is revoked, the Gateway does not receive certificate revocation list (CRL) as it loses TLS connection immediately. Anyway, the Gateway is still operable.
- The current QuickSec design checks CRL time validity. The CRL time validity must match with current time of Edges for the CRL to have impact on new established connection. To implement this, ensure to update Orchestrator time properly to match with date and time of Edges.
IP Address Displays the public IP address that public WAN links of an Edge use to connect to the Gateway. This IP address is used to uniquely identify the Gateway. If you have configured the Gateway with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, this field displays both the IP addresses. If you have created IPv4 only Gateway or if there is an existing IPv4 Gateway upgraded from previous versions, you can enter the IPv6 address to support the dual stack. After you save the changes, the IPv6 address is not sent to the Edges immediately. You can trigger the rebalance operation to push the IPv6 address to the customer and the associated Edges manually or the IPv6 address is sent to the Edges during the next Control Plane update. Note: Adding IPv6 address is a one-time activity and once you save the changes, you cannot modify the IP addresses.CAUTION: An incorrectly configured IPv6 address, when pushed to Edges, might lead to failure of the IPv6 tunnelling to the IPv6 Gateway. In such cases, you need to deactivate the Gateway and create a new one to activate both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.Contact & Location Displays the existing contact details. If required, you can modify the information. NSD IP Portability Beginning with the 6.0 Orchestrator release, the NSD IP Portability for the Gateway is supported. Portable NSD IPs allow an Operators to move NSD configurations to different Gateways in the POP without requiring the customer to reconfigure their tunnels.Note: For a Partner user, the NSD Portability functionality is read-only and cannot be edited.Figure 10. NSD IP Portability 
Syslog Settings Beginning with the 4.5 release, Gateways can export NAT information via a remote syslog server or via telegraf to the desired destination. For additional information, see the Configure NAT Entry Syslog for Gateways section in the VeloCloud SD-WAN Operator Guide. Customer Usage Displays the usage details of different types of Gateways assigned to the customers. Pool Membership Displays the details of the Gateway pools to which the current Gateway is assigned. Partner Gateway (Advanced Handoff) Details This section is available only if you select the Partner Gateway check box. You can configure advanced handoff settings for the Partner Gateway. For additional information, see the Partner Gateway (Advanced Handoff) Details section below.
Partner Gateway (Advanced Handoff) Details

SD-WAN Gateway Migration
VeloCloud Orchestrator provides a self-service migration functionality that allows you to migrate from your existing Gateway to a new Gateway without your Operator’s support.
- Achieve operational efficiency.
- Decommission old Gateways.
Gateways are configured with specific roles. For example, a Gateway with data plane role is used to forward data plane traffic from source to destination. Similarly, a Gateway with Control Plane role is called a Super Gateway and is assigned to an Enterprise. Edges within the Enterprise are connected to the Super Gateway. Also, there is a Gateway with Secure VPN role that is used to establish an IPSec tunnel to a Non SD-WAN destination (NSD). The migration steps may vary based on the role configured for the Gateway. For additional information about the Gateway roles, see the “Configure Gateways” section in the Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN Operator Guide.
The following figure illustrates the migration process of the Secure VPN Gateway:
In this example, an SD-WAN Edge is connected to an NSD through a Secure VPN Gateway, VCG1. The VCG1 Gateway is planned to be decommissioned. Before decommissioning, a new Gateway, VCG2 is created. It is assigned with the same role and attached to the same Gateway pool as VCG1 so that VCG2 can be considered as a replacement to VCG1. The service state of VCG1 is changed to Quiesced. No new tunnels or NSDs can be added to VCG1. However, the existing assignments remain in VCG1. Configuration changes with respect to the IP address of VCG2 are made in the NSD, an IPSec tunnel is established between VCG2 and NSD, and the traffic is switched from VCG1 to VCG2. After confirming that VCG1 is empty, it is decommissioned.
Following is the high-level workflow of Secure VPN Gateway migration based on the User roles:
Limitations of VeloCloud Gateway Migration
- Self-service migration is not supported on Partner Gateways.
- There will be a minimum service disruption based on the time taken to switch Non SD-WAN Destinations (NSDs) from the quiesced Gateway to the new Gateway and to rebalance the Edges connected to the quiesced Gateway.
- If the NSD is configured with redundant Gateways and one of the Gateways is quiesced, the redundant Gateway cannot be the replacement Gateway for the quiesced Gateway.
- During self-service migration of a quiesced Gateway, the replacement Gateway must have the same Gateway Authentication mode as the quiesced Gateway.
- For a customer deploying a NSD via Gateway where BGP is configured on the NSD, if the customer migrates the NSD to a different Gateway using the Self-Service Gateway Migration feature on the Orchestrator, the BGP configurations are not migrated and all BGP sessions are dropped post-migration.
In this scenario, the existing Gateway assigned to the NSD is in a quiesced state and requires migration to another Gateway. The customer then navigates to on the Orchestrator and initiates the Gateway Migration process to move their NSD to another Gateway. Post-migration, the BGP Local ASN & Router ID information is not populated on the new Gateway and results in NSD BGP sessions not coming up with all routes being lost and traffic using those routes is disrupted until the user manually recreates all BGP settings.
This is a Day 1 issue and while the Gateway Migration feature accounts for many critical NSD settings, the NSD's BGP settings that are not accounted for, and their loss post-migration is an expected behavior.
Workaround: The migration of a Gateway should be done in a maintenance window only. Prior to the migration, the user should document all BGP settings and be prepared to manually reconfigure these settings post-migration to minimize impact to customer users.
Migrate Quiesced Gateways
Operators send notification emails about Gateway migration to Administrators with Super User privileges. Plan your migration based on the notification email that you receive from your Operator.
Before you migrate the Edges and NSDs (if configured) from the quiesced Gateway to the new Gateway, ensure that you schedule a maintenance window as traffic may be disrupted during migration.
To avoid any service disruption, ensure that you migrate to the new Gateway within the Migration Deadline mentioned in the notification email.
To migrate from a quiesced Gateway to a new Gateway, perform the following steps:
- In the SD-WAN service of the Enterprise portal, go to . The list of quiesced Gateways appears.
Figure 16. Quiesced Gateways List 
- Make the required configuration to all the NSDs that are configured through the quiesced Gateway.
Figure 17. Configure NSDs 
- Select the View IKE IPSec link to view a sample configuration for the NSD. Copy the template and customize it to suit your deployment.
- Add the IP address of the SD-WAN Gateway (new Gateway IP) to each NSD configured for the quiesced Gateway.
For example, if you have configured an NSD for AWS, you must add the IP address of the new Gateway in the NSD configuration in the AWS instance.
- After making the configuration changes to all the NSDs, select the The listed NSD site(s) have been configured check box, and then select Next.
Note: The Configure NSD Site(s) option is not available for NSDs configured automatically as well as for Gateways with Data Plane role that are not attached to any NSDs. - Select each NSD and select Switch Gateway to switch the traffic from the quiesced Gateway to the new Gateway.
Figure 18. Switch to New Gateway 
- In the Switch Gateway pop-up window, select the The NSD site has been configured check box to confirm that you have made the required changes to the remote-end NSD configuration.
Figure 19. Non-SD-WAN configuration 
Note: This confirmation is not applicable for NSDs configured automatically. - Select Switch Gateway.
It may take few minutes to verify the tunnel status. The IP address of the quiesced Gateway is replaced with the IP address of the new Gateway so that the traffic switches to the new Gateway. The Migration Status changes to "NSD Tunnels are up and running" as shown in the following screen shot. If the Switch Gateway action fails, see What to do When Switch Gateway Action Fails.
Figure 20. Gateway Migration- Service Setting 
- Select Next.
Note: The Switch Gateway option is not available for Gateways with Data Plane role that are not attached to any NSDs.
- Rebalance Cloud Gateways (Primary or Secondary or Super Gateways) of all Edges or the required Edges that are connected to the quiesced Gateway so that the Edges get reassigned to the new Gateway. You can rebalance Gateways from the page as well.
Figure 21. Rebalance All Connected Edges- Super Gateway 
When rebalancing Super Gateways, all the Edges connected to the quiesced Gateway will be rebalanced. Rebalancing of selected Edges is not allowed.
