Considerations for deploying Forcepoint NGFW in the AWS cloud
There are some additional considerations when you deploy Forcepoint NGFW in the AWS cloud.
- Only the Firewall/VPN role is supported.
- Only single-node NGFW Engines are supported. NGFW Engine Clusters are not supported.
- Master NGFW Engines and Virtual Security Engines are not supported.
- VLAN interfaces and link aggregation are not supported.
- FIPS mode is not supported.
- Memory dump diagnostics are not supported.
- The engine does not limit the number of network interfaces but some types of instances might have limitations.
Note: AWS does not allow the root user to log on to the command line. Instead, you must log on as the aws user and use sudo to gain root permissions.
