Temporarily disable a VPN site in all VPNs

You can disable a site that has been manually added to the Gateway. The site is disabled globally in all VPNs.

To remove the automatic site from an NGFW Engine that acts as a VPN Gateway, disable automatic VPN site management. There must be at least one enabled site.

  For more details about the product and how to configure features, click Help or press F1.

Steps

  1. Open the list of sites for the gateway in one of the following ways:
    • Right-click a Firewall element, select Edit <element type>, then browse to VPN > Sites.
    • Open the properties of the External VPN Gateway element, then click the Sites tab.
  2. Right-click the site, then select Properties.
  3. On the VPN References tab, deselect the Enable cell.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Save the changes in one of the following ways:
    • In the Engine Editor, click Save and Refresh.
    • In the External VPN Gateway Properties dialog box, click OK.

Next steps

If you edited a previously configured VPN, refresh the policy on all affected gateways to transfer the changes. The configurations of external gateways might also require an update.
