Configuring Internet/Public Access Through the NSv

The X1 interface typically needs egress/ingress access to the public internet. To allow access, the X1 interface must be configured with an Elastic IP (EIP). Otherwise, traffic from the X1 interface is directed to a NAT Instance.

To assign an EIP to the NSv X1 interface, you need to use the Elastic Network Interface (ENI).

To locate the ENI

1. In your browser, navigate to EC2 > Instances.

   

2. In the top pane, select the NSv instance.

3. In the lower pane, click eth2 to display the Network Interface eth2 pop-up menu.

4. Copy the Interface ID from the pop-up menu. This is the X1 ENI.

5. Paste the value into a temporary file, so you can refer to it during the next procedure.

To locate or create the Elastic IP (EIP) and associate it with the X1 interface

1. In the left navigation pane, click Elastic IPs.

   

2. Select an IP address that is “free,” or if no addresses are available, then click Allocate new address at the top of the screen.

3. Right-click on the address row and select Associate Address from the right-click menu. The Associate address screen displays.

   

4. For Resource type, select Network interface.

5. In the Network interface drop-down menu, select the ENI of the X1 interface that you located in the previous procedure.

6. Click Associate.
