    Download and Deploy Virtual Private Edge

    For Virtual Private Edge (VPE), you must deploy and register VPE Nodes, which are the on-premises instances deployed in your environment that make up the VPE platform.

    Download VPE Image

    Download VPE image from the Netskope UI. The network speed between your environment and the Netskope Management Plane (MP) determines how long it takes to download the image.

    To download the image:

    1. Go to Settings > Security Cloud Platform > On-Premises Infrastructure.

    2. Click the Next-Gen tab.

    3. On the Next-Gen page, click Download Image.

    4. In the Get VM Image window, download the appropriate image.

    5. Pick the row that matches your hypervisor and click Download.

    The node boots with the VPE platform software version shown in brackets. Click View instructions on the web UI to view the download and installation instructions.

    Deploy VPE Image

    After downloading the image, deploy the VPE Node in your environment with standard hypervisor deployment steps. For examples, refer to the following:

    • VMware ESXi:  Install the Virtual Appliance on VMware ESX 6.5 or Later 

    • KVM:  Install the Virtual Appliance on Linux KVM

    Once the VM boots, verify the IP displayed on its management interface. Everything in the next phase happens over SSH to that IP address.
