Disable source and destination checks for the example deployment

Disable source and destination checks on the NGFW instance.

Before you begin

Associate an Elastic IP address with your NGFW instance.

Each EC2 instance performs source and destination checks by default. These checks require that the instance is the source or destination of any traffic it sends or receives. However, an NGFW instance must be able to send and receive traffic when the source or destination is not itself.

Steps

  1. To disable source and destination checks for all NGFW interfaces, select EC2 > Network Interfaces > Actions > Change Src/Dst. Check.
  2. Select Disabled, then click Save.


Next steps

Log on to the NGFW Engine using SSH.
