•Viewing vTM Gateway Details

Introduction

After you have successfully logged into the Ivanti Neurons for Secure Access (nSA) Controller as a Tenant Admin user (see Logging in as a Tenant Administrator), you can start the configuration of your vTM platform by adding Gateways.

nSA supports the following main Gateway types, depending on your subscription:

  • nZTA Gateway
  • Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) Gateway
  • Virtual Traffic Manager (vTM) Gateway

This chapter covers functionality relating to a vTM Gateway only. For details pertaining to nZTA and ICS Gateways, see the respective Tenant Admin Guide in the Ivanti documentation portal.

A Gateway controls access to the applications at the location to which it is deployed. This location could be a physical datacenter, a private or public cloud-based service, or some hybrid combination. Each Gateway communicates with the Controller to ensure that access requests are authenticated. A Gateway must be contactable by both the Controller and the applications that reside there.

Viewing vTM Gateway Details

After you have registered your Gateways with the Controller, you can:

  • View the list of Gateways

    The gateway list page displays the additional columns to show the connection status, vTM version, feature pack used and the bandwidth allocated to the gateway.

  • View the summary of the Gateway configuration
  • Edit the Gateway configuration
  • Delete a Gateway

When you select a Gateway from the Gateways list, the Gateway details page displays the configuration information for the selected Gateway.
