This online Help was created for Forcepoint NGFW Manager and VPN Broker, version 6.11.0.
You can use the Forcepoint NGFW Manager to configure the VPN Broker or to manage a single Forcepoint Next Generation Firewall (Forcepoint NGFW) Engine.
The VPN Broker creates highly-scalable, full-mesh VPN environments. VPN tunnels are automatically created between NGFW Engines when they communicate with each other. The VPN tunnels are automatically removed when they are no longer needed.
When you configure high availability for the VPN Broker, there are multiple VPN Broker gateways in the same VPN Broker domain. All VPN Broker members can connect to any VPN Broker gateway in the VPN Broker domain.
To use the NGFW Manager for local management of a single NGFW Engine, configure the necessary settings for the NGFW Engine.
Log and alert entries provide information about what is going on in your network environment.
General settings include high-level properties of the NGFW Engine, and settings for NTP and DNS.
Policy settings specify which policies the NGFW Engine uses, as well as settings for element-based NAT, alias translation, and automatic rules.
VPN settings are not yet supported in NGFW Engine Management mode.
In the log handling settings, you can configure log compression and define what happens when the log spool on the NGFW Engine becomes full.
Most maintenance tasks can be done for both the VPN Broker and for single NGFW Engines.
