Inside DPOD's Web Console, navigate to the gateways page [Manage → Devices Topology → Gateways] and click on “New”.

...

Enter the following information:

Field

Description

Name

The gateway name in DPOD (must be identical to the System Identifier of the gateway).
It must meet the requirements detailed in Are there any restrictions when defining the DataPower "System Identifier"?.
If you wish to add a gateway tenant device, enter the landlord's name. DPOD will display the tenant's name as tenant@landlord.

Host Address

IP Address used to access the gateway.
If you wish to add a gateway tenant device, enter the tenant's host.

SOMA port

The SOMA port configured on this gateway.
If you wish to add a gateway tenant device, enter the tenant's SOMA port.

SOMA User Name

The user name used to access the monitored devices via SOMA.

SOMA Password

The password of the user name used to access the monitored devices via SOMA.

Log Target Source Address

IP Address of the gateway's log target source.
This should be the IP address of the ethernet interface of the gateway from which Syslog records should be sent to DPOD.
Usually, this IP address is the same as the IP address used for the Host field mentioned above, unless the gateway is in a different network than DPOD (e.g behind NAT).
If link aggregation interface is configured in the gateway, you may define its IP address as the log target source address to take advantage of the link aggregation benefits when sending Syslog records to DPOD.

Device Resources Monitoring

Whether Device resources monitoring is enabled on this gateway.
It is highly recommended to enable device resources monitoring. Disabling it will cause this device's health to be missing in System Health dashboard, as well as provide unexpected results in dashboards, reports and alerts that are based on this data.

Service Resources Monitoring

Whether Service resources monitoring is enabled on this gateway.

Once you click the Add button, DPOD will make sure it can connect to the monitored device and if successful, the gateway will be added to DPOD as a new monitored device.
