This article is continuation from my previous article.
My Topology for this lab same as previous one:
Choose and configure 3rd party appliance for Gateway Load Balancer in AWS Marketplace.
When we create security Gateway load balancer, AWS give us many choice using their 3rd party partner security appliance. I tried using Checkpoint product for this demo. We can use another 3rd party brand as well.
At AWS marketplace I found 2 of these product and subscribed it. One is for Security Gateway load balancer and one is for their management server
After we subscribed it we can deploy in using EC2 instance.
We can use cloudformation template from checkpoint to deploy our security management server and Security Gateway load balancer.
In this stack template we chose which vpc for our Management server and Security GWLB , which subnet we using. I created new VPC called security VPC for this purpose.
After the stack complete, we can access our security GWLBs using our Management Server
And we can ssh to our management server using our private key file using putty.
we must set up username and password for our Management Server before we can access it with WEBGUI.
If we want monitor our Security Gateway Load Balancer in our local laptop, we can install Smart Console from checkpoint website.
After installed and verify our account, it will be automatically detected our security gateway and our Management server in AWS . Seamless integration with our AWS environment.
