Creating a peering instance in stand-alone mode

How to create a gateway-peering instance in stand-alone mode. This mode is for only development and preliminary testing purposes.

Procedure

  1. In the search field, enter peering.
  2. From the search results, click Gateway peering.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Define the basic properties - Name, administrative state, and comments.
  5. Specify the password alias to secure the data store for member communication. If not specified, the system default is used.
    When the configuration uses the system default and you upgrade to 10.5.0.1 or later, a warning message is shown in the GUI. The use of the system default is classified as a security vulnerability (CVE-2022-31776).
  6. Define the local address and port that the gateway services listens on.
    1. Optional: Specify the local address of the current member. This address can be the address of any DataPower network interface except 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, and ::.
    2. Specify the local port of the current member.
  7. Ensure that the Use peer group checkbox is not set.
  8. Specify the monitoring port of the current member for data store synchronization.
  9. Specify memory as the persistence location and the memory threshold in megabytes that triggers the eviction of keys. Enter a value in the range 0 - 1048576. The default value is 0, which means no limit. When the memory limit is reached, keys are removed according to least recently used (LRU) algorithm.
  10. Click Apply to save changes to the running configuration.
  11. Click Save to save changes to the persisted configuration.
