What is the difference between the External IP and the Internal IP of an App?

You will have seen that an Edgenexus App, shown below, has two different IP addresses shown. One of these is configurable while the other is not.

Internal IP Address

The Internal IP address is part of the ADC’s internal REST communications system. This is not directly changeable.

Should this Internal IP address conflict with an IP Address range used within your network, please contact support@edgenexus.io and request a jetPACK that will change this to use an IP Address range of your choice.

External IP Address

The External IP address is used for communicating with the Add-On from within your network. So in the example shown above, the WAF Add-on is directly accessible for managing its UI through the External IP address using Port 88. Traffic to the Add-on uses the External IP address using ports 80 and 443.
