change the name on a GP portal and gateway

Is is possible to rename an repurpose a global protect portal and gateway? I have one named student that is not being used but I want to repurpose the IP's and save myself from rebuilding a new one by just renaming and reusing student portal and gateway but the name is greyed out

Hi,

Just tested and don't think it is possible for me as well. At least through the GUI

Hi jprovine,

You can change the name in the configuration xml file.

I followed these steps:

1) Save named configuration snapshot

2) Export the saved file

3) Edit the name in the notepad++

4) Import the configuration snapshot

5) Load this configuration snapshot

6) Commit

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Anurag

XML nice and tweakable, you definitely need this option when doing migration from the different hardware range.

Hi @jdprovine ,

The rename command on the CLI (in configuration mode) will do it. You will need to rename the Gateway-N in addition to the Portal and Gateway.

Thanks,

Tom

Hello,

If your are using wildcard certificate in portal config you can use multiple fqdn for one portal.

Example: *.acme.com certificate used for portal and gateway certificate profile so you can use;

vpn1.acme.com

vpn2.acme.com

vpnN.acme.com

for the same gateway and portal config.

You can change Global Protect Portal/Gateway names via CLI.

The steps I followed and worked for me are,

1) Pull the "Show" output from Panorama CLI in set output format.

Example:

panorama> set cli config-output-format set
panorama> configure
Entering configuration mode
[edit]
panorama# show
This will provide Panorama configuration in a "set" format.

2) Next look for the Global Protect Portal/Gateway name you want to modify in the output and replace the "set" with" rename"

Example:

panorama# rename template <template name> config vsys <vsys name> global-protect-portal/global-protect-gateway <old name> to <new name>

Thanks,
Anurag

This worked. I'm not seeing any users under "Remote Users" now, though connections work fine.

Once I did a commit, Remote Users began showing up.

This process worked well for me. One issue I had was the dependency on my tunnel interface. When attempting to commit to the firewall nodes I receive an error that the tunnel interface is already in use. I'm guessing this wouldn't happen without the tunnel functionality enabled on the gateway. I haven't tried updating the tunnel configuration via the same rename commands yet.
