Accessing AROVA
AROVA appliances are configured to operate on the Google Cloud Internal Network.
- Users must use IAP to forward port 443 of AROVA to a dedicated port on a local machine and access the AROVA web UI by browsing to: https://127.0.0.1:<forwarded port number>/
- External access to AROVA appliances is not configured by default and is not recommended for security purposes.
Example
gcloud compute start-iap-tunnel \
jet-aro-vm-us-central1-us-south1 443 \
--local-host-port=localhost:8443 \
--zone=us-central1-a --project arova-project
- The command starts the IAP tunnel to the AROVA jet-aro-vm-us-central1-us-south1 forwarding the AROVA port 443 to a local port 8443.
- The web UI can then be accessed by browsing to https://localhost:8443/
Note: The command expects the user to already be logged into a gcloud session.
Use the command gcloud auth login to authorize it. Keep the gcloud command running while accessing the AROVA UI.
