Working with Gateways
- Introduction
Introduction
After you have successfully logged into the Ivanti Neurons for Secure Access (nSA) Controller as a Tenant Admin user (see Logging in as a Tenant Administrator), you can start the configuration of your vTM platform by adding Gateways.
nSA supports the following main Gateway types, depending on your subscription:
- nZTA Gateway
- Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) Gateway
- Virtual Traffic Manager (vTM) Gateway
This chapter covers functionality relating to a vTM Gateway only. For details pertaining to nZTA and ICS Gateways, see the respective Tenant Admin Guide in the Ivanti documentation portal.
A Gateway controls access to the applications at the location to which it is deployed. This location could be a physical datacenter, a private or public cloud-based service, or some hybrid combination. Each Gateway communicates with the Controller to ensure that access requests are authenticated. A Gateway must be contactable by both the Controller and the applications that reside there.

- View the list of Gateways The gateway list page displays the additional columns to show the connection status, vTM version, feature pack used and the bandwidth allocated to the gateway.
