Deactivating a Gateway

You can deactivate a gateway to block members from accessing the network resources (including Zero trust Applications) connected to the gateway. However, the gateway remains operational and configurable.

When you deactivate a gateway:

  • Members and applications cannot connect to the gateway and are redirected to alternate gateways (if available).

  • Members already connected to the gateway stay connected until they disconnect. After which, they are connected to an alternate gateway (if available).

To deactivate a gateway:

  1. Access the Harmony SASE Administrator Portal and click Networks.

  2. Select the network.

  3. Click on your gateway and then click Deactivate Gateway.

  4. Click Deactivate.

    The system shows the progress of the gateway status.

    After the gateway is deactivated, it is marked as Inactive for users.

  5. To re-activate your gateway, click and then click Activate Gateway.
