Configuring a CloudBurst VPN

  1. In the main menu, click Tools > Cloud Agent Manager.
  2. Login to your CloudBurst account with your user name and password.
  3. Click Start Agents, enter the desired amount of agents per region, and click Start. The Status column displays Starting. When the agents are started, the column displays Ready.
  4. Click Configure VPN and click Add.
  5. Enter a Name for your VPN configuration.
  6. Enter the hostname of your System Under Test (SUT) and click Get network settings. The Cloud Agent Manager (CAM) then tries to resolve the IP address of the SUT. Based on that IP address, all company network settings are filled in automatically.
  7. If the SUT cannot be reached, an information dialog box displays. This is generally the case when your machine and the SUT are not in the same subnet and when your machine is not allowed to access the subnet of the SUT. In such a case, fill in the company settings manually.
    Note: If you have problems finding out the correct settings, contact your system or network administrator.
  8. Make sure that Activate VPN immediately is checked and click OK. The State column displays Preparing VPN.
  9. When the State column displays Waiting for router, click the link download router image. This will download an appliance for the virtual machine software VirtualBox.
  10. Transfer the appliance to the routing device.
    Note: The router appliance must be located in the same network segment as the System Under Test (SUT). If this is not possible, contact TechSupport for further instructions.
  11. If you have not installed VirtualBox on the routing device, download the setup file from the VirtualBox website (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and install it.
  12. Start VirtualBox, import the appliance and start it.
    Note: Make sure to assign new MAC addresses to all network cards before you import the appliance.
  13. Enter your CloudBurst credentials. A Linux operating system starts in Virtual Box. This makes the routing device a VPN client.
Once the Linux operating system runs, the Cloud Agent Manager (CAM) displays that the connection to the router is established. Your CloudBurst VPN is set up.
