# Edge configuration

After installing the Edge service, an additional configuration step is required from the Bekane frontend interface.

This configuration is mandatory to:

* Connect the Edge service to the backend
* Enable lease port management
* Allow infrastructure communication and remote access features

## Configure the Edge Service from the Frontend

From the Bekane web interface, navigate to:

```
Administration → Infrastructure → JIT EDGE → Edge Configurations
```

Create or update the Edge configuration using the information corresponding to your environment.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Edge service will not operate correctly until this configuration has been completed from the frontend administration panel.
{% endhint %}

### Edge Configuration Parameters

The following parameters are available when configuring a JIT EDGE instance:

* **Name**\
  Friendly name used to identify the Edge instance in the administration interface.
* **Pool**\
  Infrastructure pool associated with this Edge service.
* **JIT EDGE URL**\
  Public URL used by the backend to communicate with the Edge service.
* **Shared Token**\
  Shared authentication token used to secure communications between the backend and the Edge service.
* **Request Timeout (s)**\
  Maximum time, in seconds, allowed for backend requests to the Edge service before timing out.
* **Ready Timeout (s)**\

### Edge Configuration List

The **Edge Configurations** page displays all registered JIT EDGE instances in a datatable view.

For each Edge instance, the table displays key information such as:

* Name
* Associated pool
* Edge URL
* Enabled state

This view allows administrators to quickly monitor and manage all configured Edge services.

Each Edge entry provides several management actions:

* **Test Connection**\
  Verifies communication between the backend and the Edge service.
* **Edit**\
  Updates the Edge configuration parameters.
* **Remove**\
  Deletes the Edge configuration from the platform.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Removing an Edge configuration may interrupt virtual machine provisioning and lease management operations associated with this Edge service.
{% endhint %}

Your Bekane instance is now installed and ready to be connected to your hypervisors and infrastructure pools in order to discover, manage, and provision your virtual machines.
