Defining MEP Method

MEP configuration can be implicit or manual.

  • Implicit - MEP methods and gateway identities are taken from the topology and configuration of gateways that are in fully overlapping encryption domains or from Global Properties.

  • Manual - You can edit the list of MEP Security Gateways in the Remote Access Clients TTM file.

To define MEP topology:

  1. Edit the $FWDIR/conf/trac_client_1.ttm file on the Security Gateway.

  2. Search for: automatic_mep_topology

  3. If you do not see this parameter, add it manually as shown here:

    Copy
    :automatic_mep_topology (
        :gateway (
            :map (
                :true (true)
                :false (false)
            )
            :default (true)
        )
    )
  4. Set the value of :default to:

    • true - for implicit configuration

    • false - for manual configuration

  5. For Manual MEP only: Make sure that the value of enable_gw_resolving is true.

    Copy
    :enable_gw_resolving (
        :gateway (
            :default (true)
        )
    )
  6. Save the file.

  7. Install the policy.
