a portal.

Name
for the portal. The name cannot contain spaces.
(
Optional
) Select the virtual system to which this portal belongs from the

Specify network settings to enable the GlobalProtect app to communicate with the portal.
If you have not yet created a network interface for the portal, see Create Interfaces and Zones for GlobalProtect. If you have not yet created an SSL/TLS service profile for the portal, see Deploy Server Certificates to the GlobalProtect Components.
Do not attach an interface management profile that allows HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, or SSH on the interface where you have configured a GlobalProtect portal or gateway because this enables access to your management interface from the Internet. Follow the Best Practices for Securing Administrative Access to ensure that you are securing administrative access to your firewalls in a way that will prevent successful attacks.

Interface

Specify the
IP Address Type
and
IP address
for the portal web service:
The IP address type can be

Use
IPv4 and IPv6
if your network supports dual stack configurations, where IPv4 and IPv6 run at the same time.
The IP address must be compatible with the IP address type. For example,
172.16.1/0
for IPv4 addresses or
21DA:D3:0:2F3B
for IPv6 addresses. For dual stack configurations, enter both an IPv4 and IPv6 address.
