change the name on a GP portal and gateway

[jdprovine]

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

bummer I will probably have to delete and re-create it with a new name

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

interesting approach, thanks for the option

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.
