- Getting started with the Forcepoint NGFW Manager and the VPN Broker
  The Forcepoint NGFW Manager is the user interface for configuring the VPN Broker. The VPN Broker automatically creates and removes VPN tunnels as needed in full-mesh VPN environments.
Configuring a single VPN Broker
The VPN Broker creates highly-scalable, full-mesh VPN environments. VPN tunnels are automatically created between NGFW Engines when they communicate with each other. The VPN tunnels are automatically removed when they are no longer needed.
Configuring VPN Broker high availability
When you configure high availability for the VPN Broker, there are multiple VPN Broker gateways in the same VPN Broker domain. All VPN Broker members can connect to any VPN Broker gateway in the VPN Broker domain.
Local management of a single NGFW Engine
You can use the Forcepoint NGFW Manager to locally manage a single NGFW Engine.
Maintenance
Most maintenance tasks can be done for both the VPN Broker and for single NGFW Engines.
