Sites

A site is a geographical location, data center, or cloud service that connects to the service using traffic tunneling. Sites represent your application hosting locations.

Note:
  1. The following two types of tunnels are only supported:
    • IPsec Tunnel
    • GRE tunnel
  2. You can only view the sites that are created for your account from this page.
  3. If needed, you can create or edit sites and tunnels for your account. For more details on how to create a site and tunnel, refer to the Creating sites in Forcepoint ONE portal topic in the Forcepoint ONE Deployment Guide.
  4. The sites and tunnels are created in the in the Forcepoint ONE admin portal.

From the Navigation pane, click Objects > Sites to navigate to the Sites page.

The Sites page displays the following information for each site:

Column Description
Name A system-defined or user defined name for the site.
Connection The tunnels configured for this site. Forcepoint recommends that each site should be configured with more than one tunnel for redundancy.
Status The current connectivity status for the tunnel:
  • Up: The tunnel service is active.
  • Down: The tunnel service is down. No activity is detected.
Note:
  1. Application hosting site tunnels are configured as active-active.
  2. For a site with two tunnels, either of the two tunnels can be active.
  3. Tunnels that have not seen any traffic will continue to display the Down status until traffic has passed through the tunnel.
