Firewall Bootstrap Configuration

The Bootstrap Configuration option simplifies the initial configuration setup of a firewall within the selected cloud. If the Bootstrap Configuration toggle is enabled, and a firewall image has been selected, you can configure your bootstrap options.

The fields to complete for bootstrap configuration depend on the selected cloud for the Transit FireNet gateway instance, and the selected firewall. Use the links in the below table to complete the bootstrap configuration.

Toggle the Bootstrap Configuration slider to On to continue with your bootstrap configuration.

See the firewall example configuration topics for specific firewall image versions, instance size, and more.
