Gateway Topology in SCS

[gladiatorkev]

Hi,
Does having incomplete topology (Interface) information of the gateway in the Smartdashboard matter if i do not use the gateway for VPN, and only for enforcing my security policies.

Will it in any way affect my policy working or enforcing if i have incomplete interface information of the gateway in the dashboard..?!

Thanks

You should always have the correct topology information in the gateway.

At the very least you have to turn off Anti-Spoofing on the gateway.

If you have attached a gateway to a SMARTCenter then you can automatically pull the configuration from the Gateway with the Get Interfaces with Topology.

Is there a reason you can't have the topology in the gateway.

As long as the actual main IP is defined then it should be fine as long as anti-spoofing is turned off. I have seen this myself and know it does work, however you may see some weird issues such as some traffic is dropped. In general I would say update the gateway topology to avoid stupid issues.
