replacing vGateway (Edge gw) in vCloud director with Fortigate or Sophos VM

[imadam]

Hello,

didn't play a lot with vCloud director but now something came up where I have to replace vGateway from Vmware with 3rd party firewall like Sophos XG or Fortinet FG. Went over some videos but there is no mentioning that this is possible. It is always refered back to vGW,

Is there some links or docs where best practice for this type of deployment???

So, is this setup doable where Edge GW is replaced with our VM (Fortinet or Sophos)?

What is best practice for this setup?

Tnx

Hi,

It should be possible - just deploy a VM/vApp with the new firewall, connect it to both networks (make sure the networks are isolated) and use it as default gateway. You can provide a direct connected external network for your Org in order to use with the VM.

Using it in other ways is not possible I'm afraid.
