How to Prepare a CloudGen Firewall for Establishing a Connection to a SecureEdge Service via a TINA Transport

  • Last updated on

To establish a connection from a CGF to a SecureEdge service via a TINA transport, you must configure an interface as a Direct Internet Access interface and select the check box Establish transport to SecureEdge in the configuration window. You can do so in the following three places:

  • Network configuration for shared IPs: CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Network > IP Configuration, section Shared Networks and IPs.

  • Network configuration for xDSL: CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Network > IP Configuration, section xDSL Setup, xDSL Links.

  • Network configuration for DHCP: CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Network > IP Configuration, section DHCP Client Setup, DHCP Links.


You must switch to Advanced Mode in the left configuration column to access the relevant configuration fields!

Before You Begin

  • The CloudGen Firewall must already be integrated into SecureEdge.

  • The CloudGen Firewall must be associated with an upstream Edge service in the SecureEdge Manager (SEM).
