Tell me whether support for the BGP and GRE protocols will be implemented in the NGAF virtual contexts (VSYS)?

Yes, Sangfor NGAF supports routing protol BGP and GRE.

The protocl BGP and GRE is supported so it will added to its VSYS. That is the simpliest explanation

I think GRE is supported but not the full BGP features. Please see the KB in the community

The said routing protocol is supported by the NGAF but I am not sure the VYSYS that your talking about

If Sangfor NGAF does not currently support the protocols or features you require, you might also consider reaching out to Sangfor's customer support or sales team to inquire about future updates or roadmaps that may include support for BGP and GRE in virtual contexts. They may provide insights into planned features or offer alternative solutions based on your specific networking requirements.

both BGP and GRE is supported but not sure with VSYS. With this, I would recommend the following:

1. check official documentation
2. contact sangfor support/tac team

Hi, yes. Implementing BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) protocols within the NGAF (Next-Generation Application Firewall) virtual contexts can enhance network functionality and security. Let’s explore each protocol:

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol):
BGP is an exterior gateway protocol used for routing between different autonomous systems (ASes) on the internet.
In NGAF virtual contexts, BGP can be configured to:
Establish peering sessions with neighboring routers or peers.
Exchange routing information (such as IP prefixes) to determine optimal paths.
Influence route selection based on policies (e.g., AS path, next-hop, local preference).
Enhance redundancy and load balancing across multiple paths.
BGP is commonly used for inter-domain routing and is crucial for large-scale networks.

GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation):
GRE is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates various network layer protocols within IP packets.
In NGAF virtual contexts, GRE can be utilized to:
Create virtual private networks (VPNs) or overlay networks.
Establish point-to-point or multipoint connections between NGAF instances.
Encapsulate non-IP traffic (such as IPX or AppleTalk) for transport over an IP network.
Enable secure communication between remote sites or cloud environments.
GRE provides flexibility and scalability for network design.

IP packets carrying different network layer protocols are encapsulated by the tunneling mechanism known as GRE.
GRE may be applied in NGAF virtual situations in order to:
Construct overlay networks or virtual private networks (VPNs).
