Edge Cluster Creation | Celona Help Center

Refer this article to understand IP interface requirements for Celona Edge Cluster.

Assuming you are already logged in to the Celona Orchestrator, go to the Edge Clusters page and click the CREATE NEW button on the top right corner.

Edge Cluster Name

Give the Edge Cluster a name. We suggest creating a naming convention that will help you understand what it is and where it is, the information required for ongoing operations.

Deployment Region

Select the Deployment Region for the Celona Edge Cluster; this would be the region where the Edge Cluster is physically deployed (US or Non-US).

Deployment Mode

Select the Deployment Mode for the Edge Cluster:

Single Node — a single Edge node. Suitable for pilot networks.
High Availability — a multi-node Edge Cluster. Recommended for production Celona networks

Cluster Scheme

When creating the cluster, select the Cluster Scheme:

	V1 (HA 1.0)	V2 (HA 2.0)
Software version	EdgeOS 2411	EdgeOS 2026.1
Minimum nodes for HA	3 (required for Kubernetes quorum)	2
Operating model	Effectively active-passive	Active-active; devices load-balanced across all nodes
Failover	—	Faster failover, simpler operations, alignment with enterprise HA designs
Cluster control-plane VIP	Edge Cluster VRRP IP + VRRP ID	Not required — per-node IP addresses only

Recommendation: Select V2 for new Edge Clusters on EdgeOS 2026.1. V1 remains available for clusters that must match existing HA 1.0 (2411) deployments.

With V2 (HA 2.0), all Edge nodes in the cluster are active and devices are load-balanced across them — there are no standby or follower nodes. No Edge Cluster IP (VRRP IP) or VRRP ID configuration is required on the AP ↔ Edge control plane, and no Layer 2 adjacency is required between cluster nodes.

SAS Account (US region)

If the Deployment Region selected is the US (United States), You can now select your preferred SAS Account. Options will be:

[Default] Celona - Federated Wireless Account (Recommended)
Celona - Google SAS Account
Your Custom SAS Accounts - Refer to this document for additional details

Note (2026.1): Spectrum services are hosted in the Celona cloud. Your SAS Account selection determines which SAS provider the Celona cloud spectrum service uses; no direct SAS connectivity from your enterprise network is required.

If the Deployment Region selected is Non-US (All Countries except the United States),

you directly select the PLMN ID for the network next.

PLMN ID & PLMN Name

Next set the PLMN ID & PLMN Name.

PLMN ID — The Celona network is identified using Public Land Mobile Network Identity (PLMN-ID), which consists of a three-digit mobile country code (MCC) and a three-digit mobile network code (MNC).
- For US deployments, PLMN ID defaults to 315010. 315010 is designated for CBRS operation.
- For international deployments, select from the dropdown: 999002 (Japan) or 999503 (Rest of the world, default).
- PLMN ID can also be set to a custom value using the + Custom option.
  - Note that Celona SIM cards are pre-programmed to work with PLMN ID 315010 or 999503. To use a custom PLMN ID you will need a custom SIM profile. Please contact Celona Support if you want to use a custom PLMN ID.

PLMN Name — Descriptive identifier for the Celona network. The network name (Celona) is pre-programmed in the SIM card. End devices with a display show the PLMN Name on the screen. Some devices allow the network to override the value pre-programmed in the SIM card. This configuration enables admin users to customize the PLMN Name displayed on the device upon attach.
- Default — Celona
- The default network name can be overwritten by a user-configured custom network name.

Adding Edge Nodes

Under Available Edge Nodes, search for the Edge nodes in your inventory that you want to add to this new Edge Cluster and select them. The table lists each node's Name, Serial Number, Type, Version, and Status.

Click CREATE to complete Edge Cluster creation.

Search for Edge Nodes in your inventory that you want to add to this new Edge Cluster. Click CREATE to complete Edge Cluster creation.

For v1.0, 3-node HA cluster you will be prompted to supply -

Static IP Address (Edge Cluster IP/VRRP IP) - This IP address will be used to create the VRRP interface that Celona APs will communicate with. It must be reachable by all Celona APs assigned to that cluster.
VRRP ID - The VRRP ID will be auto-populated from the last octet of the VRRP IP Address. Alternatively, if you choose to provide a specific VRRP ID, please make sure it is not already in use.

This article describes setting up internal and/or external IP domains to integrate Celona 5G LAN with your existing L2/L3 IP infrastructure.

Configuring AP ↔︎ Edge data plane interface (N3/S1-U)

Edge Node configuration for AP<->Edge N3/UPF interface is now configurable at the Edge cluster level, one IP address per Edge Node.
When the button “Edge↔︎AP IP” is clicked, a popup dialog will show up for configuring this interface.
DHCP is enabled by default for this interface.

If a user would like to provide Static IP configuration for this interface due to the unavailability of DHCP, click the Static button to expand the section and enter the static IP address per edge nodes assigned to the cluster, Subnet Mask and the Default gateway.

The “Edge Nodes” table shows an additional column for “Edge↔︎AP IP” Dataplane Interface (S1-U/N3) and the current IP address for this interface.
