Edge Details

Clicking on an Edge in the table opens the sidebar, where the Edge details are present. The following can be modified from the MC:

Edge Friendly Name

Tags

Policy Group - Indicates the current Policy Group as well as the option to change Policy Groups (and thus Zone Membership)

⚠️

Be aware that changing the Policy Group will change the settings on the Edge and may impact the network connection briefly if there was a change in routing settings or the Zone configuration.

Additional Info about the Edge can also be seen.

Network Info

The Network Info sidebar is where all networking information for an Edge can be seen.

Public IP Address

Edge - how long the Edge has been powered on

Network - how long the Edge has been connected to the network

Network Interfaces

Secure Lobby - Overlay connection

Edge Assets

When assets have been discovered as connected to a Byos Edge, they will be shown in the Edge Sidebar > Assets panel.

Discover Edge Assets

Discovering Edge Asset can be done either on a per Edge basis from inside the Sidebar, or can be done for any Edges currently selected by the filter.

Edge Actions

Refresh Edge Info

Occasionally the network data shown in the MC might be out of Sync with what is displayed on the Edge. Refreshing the Edge Info retrieves the up to date Network Info. This can be done on a per Edge basis in the Edge Sidebar, or can be done for the Edges selected by the filter.

Reboot Edge Remotely

You will be prompted with the following “Are you sure” modal to confirm you want to reboot the Edge. Note: When an Edge is currently offline, the reboot button will be disabled.

Release Edge License

Releasing an Edge’s license is a way to kill an Edge’s ability to talk to the Byos Cloud, effectively making the Edge useless until it’s been factory reset. You will be prompted with the following “Are you sure” modal to confirm you want to release the license.

Once released, you will need to copy the reset token to perform the manual factory reset locally on the Edge.

Manual Factory Reset Token

If this token is not copied and used immediately, it can be found in the sidebar of an previously activated Edge

ℹ️

If the Edge has never been activated previously, there will be no reset token present.
