  • Introduction to the Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN solution

    Before setting up Forcepoint FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN, it is useful to know what the different components do and what engine roles are available.

  • Deployment

    Before you can set up the system and start configuring elements, you must consider how the different SMC components should be positioned and deployed.

  • Setting up

    After deploying the SMC components, you are ready to start using the Management Client and carrying out some of the first configuration tasks.

  • Monitoring

    You can use the SMC to monitor system components and third-party devices. You can also view and filter logs, and create Reports from them.

  • Controlling Secure SD-WAN Engines

    You can command and set options for engines through the Management Client or on the engine command line. You can also stop traffic manually.

  • SMC configuration

    SD-WAN Manager configuration allows you to customize how the SMC components work.

  • Secure SD-WAN Engine configuration

    You can create and modify Engines, IPS engines, Layer 2 Engines, Master Engines and Virtual Secure SD-WAN Engines. You can configure the Secure SD-WAN Engine properties, activate optional features, and configure advanced Secure SD-WAN Engine settings.

  • Routing

    Use the Management Client to configure static or dynamic routing, and use a Multi-Link configuration to manage and distribute inbound and outbound connections.

  • Traffic inspection policies

    Policies are key elements that contain rules for allowing or blocking network traffic and inspecting the content of traffic.

  • Users and authentication

    User accounts are stored in internal databases or external directory servers. You can use Secure SD-WAN in the Engine/VPN role or external authentication servers to authenticate users.

  • Virtual private networks

    Secure SD-WAN supports both policy-based and route-based VPN tunnels between VPN gateways. For full remote access, Secure SD-WAN supports both IPsec and SSL VPN tunnels for VPN clients.

  • Maintenance and upgrades

    Maintenance includes procedures that you do not typically need to do frequently.

  • Troubleshooting

    Troubleshooting helps you resolve common problems in the Secure SD-WAN and SMC.
