This guide is broken down into three sections:
Building the RHEL 9+ VM
Installing and running the script
Verifying success
Building the VM
💡 To start this process, you will need:
A RHEL dvd ISO file from RedHat.
A RedHat account and registered license in order to create and register the VM.
Create a RHEL 9+ virtual machine with:
Type/Architecture based on your device OS
(Min) 4 GB RAM
(Min) 30 GB storage
2 vCPU
Two network interfaces, one with access to external internet and the other with access to the target internal network.
Boot up the RHEL 9+ virtual machine.
Install and Run the Script
Download the preconfigured
configure_wicket.shfile provided by Dispel.Confirm the file was not corrupted during download using the Wicket Checksum Guide.
Copy this script onto the RHEL VM.
Ensure the interface names and gateway IPs are correct.
Modify the script’s permissions to be executable.
Open a terminal and elevate to root user by running
sudo su.Change directory (
cd) to where theconfigure_wicket.shfile exists in the VM.Run
chmod +x configure_wicket.shto allow the file to be executable.
Run the Installation
Run
sudo ./configure_wicket.shto run the script.If the RHEL VM is unregistered, the script will prompt for Red Hat account credentials to register the VM. Otherwise, the script is fully automated!
Allow the script to run
Final Validations
After the script runs, check for
tun100 is up!andtun101 is up!messages.If both messages popped up, you can confirm the tunnels are up by running
ifconfig.You should see both tun100 and tun101 interfaces up.
Confirm tunnel stability by running:
ping -t 10.100.1.1(production tunnel), andping -t 10.101.1.1(support tunnel).
