Question:
Is there any way to configure the ATP/USG FLEX firewall to the Cloud without having to plug the LAN Ports of the PC and ATP/USG FLEX firewall back and forth as the default instructions?

Answer:
If your ATP/USG FLEX firewall is deployed in Nebula for the first time, you need to connect a laptop in LAN port of ATP/USG FLEX firewall, select a management mode and configure the wan connection. If the wan connection is PPPoE or static IP address, it is necessary to configure the wan connection via lan interface.

  • Nebula Mode
    Follow the wizard to configure wan connection and create org/site on Nebula.
  • On Premises Mode
    You are still able to switch from On Premises Mode to Cloud Mode via web GUI. image.png
