Deployment checklist for your Azure Stack Edge Pro 2 device

This article describes the information that can be gathered ahead of the actual deployment of your Azure Stack Edge Pro 2 device.

Use the following checklist to ensure you have this information after you’ve placed an order for an Azure Stack Edge Pro 2 device and before you’ve received the device.

Deployment checklist

Stage Parameter Details
Device management - Azure subscription.
- Resource providers registered.
- Azure Storage account.
- Enabled for Azure Stack Edge, owner or contributor access.
- In Azure portal, go to Home > Subscriptions > Your-subscription > Resource providers. Search for Microsoft.EdgeOrder and register. Repeat for Microsoft.Devices if deploying IoT workloads.
- Need access credentials.
Device installation One power cable in the package. For more information, see the list of Supported power cords by country
- At least one X 1-GbE RJ-45 network cable for Port 1.
- At least 100-GbE QSFP28 Passive Direct Attached Cable (tested in-house) for each data network interface Port 3 and Port 4 to be configured.
- At least one 100-GbE network switch to connect a 1 GbE or a 100-GbE network interface to the Internet for data.
Customer needs to procure these cables.
First-time device connection Laptop whose IPv4 settings can be changed. This laptop connects to Port 1 via a switch or a USB to Ethernet adapter.
Device sign-in Device administrator password, between 8 and 16 characters, including three of the following character types: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. Default password is Password1, which expires at first sign-in.
Network settings Device comes with 2 x 10/1-GbE, 2 x 100-GbE network ports.
- Port 1 is used to configure management settings only. One or more data ports can be connected and configured.
- At least one data network interface from among Port 2 to Port 4 needs to be connected to the Internet (with connectivity to Azure).
- DHCP and static IPv4 configuration supported.
Static IPv4 configuration requires IP, DNS server, and default gateway.
Advanced networking settings - Require 2 free, static, contiguous IPs for Kubernetes nodes, and one static IP for IoT Edge service.
- Require one additional IP for each extra service or module that you'll deploy.
Only static IPv4 configuration is supported.
(Optional) Web proxy settings Web proxy server IP/FQDN, port HTTPS URLs are not supported.
Firewall and port settings If using firewall, make sure the listed URLs patterns and ports are allowed for device IPs.
(Recommended) Time settings Configure time zone, primary NTP server, secondary NTP server. Configure primary and secondary NTP server on local network.
- If local server isn’t available, public NTP servers can be configured.
(Optional) Update server settings Require update server IP address on local network, path to WSUS server. By default, public windows update server is used.
Device settings - Device fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
- DNS domain.
(Optional) Certificates To test non-production workloads, use Generate certificates option

If you bring your own certificates including the signing chain(s), Add certificates in appropriate format.
Configure certificates only if you change the device name and/or DNS domain.
Activation Require activation key from the Azure Stack Edge resource. Once generated, the key expires in three days.

Device installation One power cable in the package per device node. For more information, see the list of Supported power cords by country

- At least two 1-GbE RJ-45 network cables for Port 1 on the two device nodes
- You would need two 1-GbE network cables to connect Port 2 on each device node to the internet. Depending on the network topology you wish to deploy, you may also need at least one 100-GbE QSFP28 Passive Direct Attached Cable (tested in-house) to connect Port 3 and Port 4 across the device nodes.
- You would also need at least one 10/1-GbE network switch to connect Port 1 and Port 2. You would need a 100/10-GbE switch to connect Port 3 or Port 4 network interface to the Internet for data.
Customer needs to procure these cables and switches. Exact number of cables and switches would depend on the network topology that you deploy.
First-time device connection Via a laptop whose IPv4 settings can be changed. This laptop connects to Port 1 via a switch or a USB to Ethernet adapter.
Device sign-in Device administrator password, between 8 and 16 characters, including three of the following character types: uppercase, lowercase, numeric, and special characters. Default password is Password1, which expires at first sign-in.
Network settings Device comes with 2 x 10/1-GbE network ports, Port 1 and Port 2. Device also has 2 x 100-GbE network ports, Port 3 and Port 4.
- Port 1 is used for initial configuration. Port 2, Port 3, and Port 4 are also connected and configured.
- At least one data network interface from among Port 2 - Port 4 needs to be connected to the Internet (with connectivity to Azure).
- DHCP and static IPv4 configuration supported.
Static IPv4 configuration requires IP, DNS server, and default gateway.
