VPN Broker gateway element types for VPN Broker high availability

In a VPN Broker high availability configuration, both VPN Broker Gateway and External VPN Broker Gateway elements are used.

• A VPN Broker Gateway element represents the local VPN Broker gateway in the NGFW Manager that manages it.
• An External VPN Broker Gateway element represents a remote VPN Broker gateway that is managed by a different NGFW Manager.

The same VPN Broker gateway is both a local VPN Broker gateway in its own configuration, and a remote VPN Broker gateway in the configurations of other VPN Broker gateways.

For example, VPN Broker Gateway A is managed by NGFW Manager A, and VPN Broker Gateway B is managed by NGFW Manager B. This table shows the element types that represent the VPN Broker gateways in each NGFW Manager.
