GlobalProtect Quick Configs GlobalProtect Multiple Gateway Configuration
GlobalProtect Multiple Gateway Configuration
In Figure: GlobalProtect Multiple Gateway Topology, a second external gateway has been added to the
configuration. Multiple gateways are supported in all of the preceding example configurations. Additional steps
include installing a GlobalProtect portal license to enable use of multiple gateways and the configuration of the
second firewall as a GlobalProtect gateway. In addition, when configuring the client configurations to be
deployed by the portal you can decide whether to allow access to all gateways, or specify different gateways for
different configurations.
If a client configuration contains more than one gateway, the agent will attempt to connect to all gateways listed
in its client configuration. The agent will then use priority and response time as to determine which gateway to
connect to.
