Unified Fabric Deployment Guide

This guide details the required steps for integrating EdgeConnect gateways with HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-Branch and Microbranch with HPE Aruba Networking Central to deploy a unified SD-WAN fabric solution. This integration allows EdgeConnect gateways to be deployed as Virtual Private Network Concentrators (VPNCs) in HPE Aruba Networking Central to extend the data path to the branch gateways (BGWs) and Microbranch access points (APs).

This guide is intended for network administrators, network engineers, and system engineers familiar with HPE Aruba Networking Central, SD-Branch, Microbranch, and HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN. Each section covers the technology information and required steps to deploy the solution successfully.

NOTE: This solution is only applicable to hardware EdgeConnect gateways and does not include EdgeConnect virtual (EC-V) appliances.
