Deploy a single Forcepoint NGFW using automatic deployment

When you use automatic deployment, NGFW Engine elements are automatically created in the SMC.

Before you begin

Configure the SMC and enable the SMC API. The SMC API must be reachable from the Internet.

To use automatic deployment, Forcepoint NGFW 6.4 or higher is required.

The Forcepoint single NGFW solution template includes the NGFW Engine software and the network environment in which it runs. The network environment includes the Security subnet in which the NGFW Engine is deployed, and two protected subnets. The template creates a route from the protected subnets to the Internet through the NGFW Engine. A route is also created between the two protected subnets.
