Before you begin

Before you can establish a VPN connection between two devices using Multicloud Defense, you must enable the gateway to utilize a BGP profile. See Prerequisites and Limitations for Site-to-Site VPN Tunnels for the complete list of pre-requisites for creating and deploying a gateway.

Note

If you opt to use a BGP profile, the BGP profile is run over the IPSEC tunnel with the remote peer.

Navigate to Infrastructure > Gateways > Gateways.

Step 2

Click Add Gateway to create a new gateway or select an existing gateway and choose to Edit it in the Actions drop-down menu.

Step 3

When you create or edit the gateway, scroll to the bottom of the window and select a BGP profile from the drop-down menu when prompted.
