2.4 Create the API Gateway Cluster

Select Access Manager Administration Console > Dashboard

After you have installed the Secure API Manager license, there is a new option on the Administration Console Dashboard named API Gateways. You create an API Gateway cluster to hold one or more API Gateways. Even if you have only one appliance, you must create the cluster.

There are different reasons you would want multiple API Gateway clusters. For example, you might want your internal APIs on the internal network and your external APIs for partners or customers in the DMZ.

To create the API Gateway cluster:

  1. On the Dashboard, click the server icon above API Gateways.

  2. Click New Cluster.

  3. Specify a unique name for the API Gateway cluster, then click OK.

  4. (Conditional) If you want to create more than one API Gateway cluster, click New Cluster.

After you create the API Gateway cluster, you must create an API Gateway.
