Putting the Preseem Device Inline

Preseem Deployment Requirements

Management Connectivity Requirements

Your Preseem device must have one dedicated management interface connected to your network to obtain Internet access. A valid DNS configuration is required so the device can resolve cloud service endpoints.

Preseem must be able to reach the cloud on the following ports:

• TCP 443 – Cloud API communication

• TCP 4222 – Metrics publishing and mapping updates

Management connectivity is required for subscriber mapping, metrics reporting, and ongoing support and maintenance of your Preseem deployment.

Inline Deployment Overview

Preseem is inserted between your subscriber network and the public Internet using a pair of data interfaces that are separate from the management interface.

When deployed inline, Preseem operates as a transparent bridge between the two designated data interfaces.

Network Interface Requirements

Preseem requires one network interface for management and cloud connectivity.
Any NIC may be used for this purpose.

The interfaces that will pass subscriber traffic must be based on one of the following chipsets. This is a hard requirement for the Preseem platform. If you purchased a Preseem hardware appliance, the correct NICs are already included and vary based on hardware type. For customer-provided or third-party hardware, using one of the NICs below is a strict requirement.
