Configuring and Starting the AT-RADgate application

This section explains how to configure, start, and stop the AT-RADgate application.

Configuration items

Set the items shown in the following table in the AT-RADgate application.
Table 2: Configurable fields
Storage Size (MB) 2048 (MB)
Advanced Settings
Memory Limit (MB) Configuration is usually not required. Use with the default setting (Unlimited).
CPU Limit (Core Index) Configuration is usually not required. Use with the default setting (Unlimited).
Network
Interface Type Normally, use 'Virtual'.

Virtual: Specify the External Network VLAN ID (required) and the MAC Address (Optional). In this case, multiple applications can be used on network ports that belong to the same VLAN ID.

Physical: Assign applications to network ports. Select the network port number to connect in the Host Interface.
Use DHCP When checked, the IP Address assigned by the DHCP Server is used. When unchecked, the IPv4 Address and Gateway Address are set manually.
When using DHCP, ensure that the environment allows IP Address acquisition from the DHCP server.
DNS Server Specify the DNS Server used for name resolution. If manual configuration is required, click the downward arrow on the right, then click "+ Add DNS Server", and enter the address of a reachable DNS Server.
Note
If a DNS Server address is configured, ensure that it is reachable.
Note
Creating multiple network interfaces is not supported. Use only one network interface.
Note
When using 'Virtual' as the Interface Type and not using DHCP, configure the IP Address during AT-RADgate application setup so that it does not conflict with any other IP Address within the same subnet as the IP Address assigned to the bridge (br0) of the Allied Telesis Container Platform.
If you want to manage the Allied Telesis Container Platform using a separate management network from the network configured for the bridge (br0) or the AT-RADgate application, disconnect an unused Ethernet interface (eth) from the bridge (br0) and assign an IP Address to it.

Examples:
- Management Network Address: 192.168.2.0/24
- Allied Telesis Container Platform (eth1): 192.168.2.10/24
(On the Allied Telesis Container Platform > Bridging page, remove "eth1" from "br0")

With the above configuration, br0 (eth2) provides access to both the Allied Telesis Container Platform (192.168.1.10) and the AT-RADgate application.
Additionally, eth1 provides access only to the Allied Telesis Container Platform (192.168.2.10).
Note
"Image server poll interval" is not supported. Do not change this setting from 'Disabled'.
Note
Before creating an application instance or updating its version, delete any unnecessary files in advance and check the "Storage Usage" on the Allied Telesis Container Platform > File Management page to ensure that sufficient storage space is available.
