The GlobalProtect portal provides the management functions for your GlobalProtect LSVPN. Every satellite system that participates in the LSVPN receives configuration information from the portal, including information about available gateways as well as the certificate it needs in order to connect to the gateways.
The following sections provide procedures for setting up the portal:
  • Configure the Portal—In LSVPN deployments, the GlobalProtect portal serves as a critical infrastructure component that centralizes management, authentication, and connection coordination for satellite devices. This centralized system acts as the core orchestrator of remote network access, providing a sophisticated mechanism for controlling and monitoring distributed network connections. The portal provides a comprehensive framework for authenticating satellite devices, coordinating connection policies, and establishing secure communication channels.
  • Define the Satellite Configurations—In LSVPN deployments, a satellite configuration provides the essential connection parameters that enable GlobalProtect satellites to establish secure VPN tunnels with your network's gateways. These configurations act as a blueprint, specifying which gateways a satellite can connect to, what certificates it should use, and how frequently it should refresh its configuration.
    The satellite configuration serves as a bridge between your GlobalProtect portal and the remote satellite devices, ensuring that each satellite receives the precise network access and security settings required for its specific deployment context.
