Step 1: Cloud portal configuration

Add your GRE device in the cloud portal, via the Web > Device Management page (this requires that your administrator account has the Manage Edge Devices permission). To add a device:

  1. Define the device name, type, public IP address, and an optional description.
  2. Under Points of Presence (PoPs), use the drop-down lists provided to select the two most appropriate points of presence (data center or local PoP) to connect to.
  3. Select a default policy to handle traffic from your GRE device.
  4. Optionally, define specific policies to apply to different internal networks managed by your device.

For each connection, the destination (PoP) inner tunnel address and source (edge device) inner tunnel IP address are provided when the data is saved. You will need these addresses to configure the tunnel on your device.

See Managing Network Devices in the Forcepoint Web Security Cloud help for further details, including information on bulk uploading devices using a CSV file.

Note: By default, you can create 200 tunnel connections for your account. To add more connections, contact your sales account manager to discuss your requirements.
