Creating API Gateway Instance
After you install API Gateway, the installed API Gateway is plain and not usable. To make the API Gateway usable, you must create an instance of it in Command Central. To create an instance, you must add license file, port information, and so on. You cannot use API Gateway without creating an instance.
