Set up a private network for air-gapped registration

If your organization works in an air-gapped environment, you can set up a private network for Splunk Edge Hub device registration.

You'll set up Private Spacebridge, obtain and install a self-signed certificate, and proceed to register your Splunk Edge Hub devices.

Prerequisites and requirements
