Enable a VIP for Gateway Access

To enable external users to access the AppViewX exposed APIs using a VIP, complete the following steps, which will configure the external VIP configuration to a multi-node installed avx_platform_gateway plugin.
  1. Navigate to the directory <avx_installed_path>/conf
  2. Go to the appviewx.conf file using the following command to add the new plugin to be installed: $ vi appviewx.conf
  3. Update GATEWAY_VIP_ENABLED as TRUE and update the external VIP details under APPVIEWX_GATEWAY_VIP and APPVIEWX_GATEWAY_VIP_HTTPS = True if SSL is enabled for VIP.
  4. When you are done editing the fields, press the Esc key, then type :wq to save and quit the file. $ appviewx --conf-sync.
    Note: In case of multi node, run the following command to update the changes across all the cluster nodes: $ appviewx --conf-sync
  5. Initialize the VIP configuration change by executing the following commands: 
    $ appviewx --initialize all
 $ appviewx --restart all
