A Gateway Pool is a group of Gateways.

Gateways can be organized into pools that are then assigned to a network. An unpopulated default Gateway pool is available after you install SASE Orchestrator. If required, you can create additional Gateway pools.

As an Operator Super user and Operator Admin user, you can create, clone, manage, download, and delete Gateway pools created by both Operator and Partner users.
Note: Operator Business Specialist user and Operator IT support user can only view the configured Gateway pools and download the CSV file.

To manage Gateway pools, perform the following steps:

  1. Log into the Orchestrator as an Operator Super user or Admin user.

  2. In the Orchestrator UI, click the Gateway Management tab and go to Gateway Pools in the left navigation pane.

    The Gateway Pools page appears.

  3. To search a specific Gateway pool, enter a relevant search text in the Search box. For advanced search, click the filter icon next to the Search box to filter the results by specific criteria.
  4. The Map Distribution section is used for displaying the Gateways on a map. You can click the + and - buttons to zoom in and zoom out the map, respectively. In the Gateway Pools table, if you have selected any Gateway pools then only the Gateways in the selected pools are displayed on the map. Otherwise, all Gateways are displayed on the map.

    The Gateway Pools table displays the existing Gateway pools with the following details.
