Prerequisites for Cloud Forwarders

Before setting up cloud forwarding, you need to ensure certain prerequisite settings.

The prerequisites are as follows:

1. Before creating a cloud forwarder, you must create a Discovery Service. For more information, see Creating Discovery Services.

2. Create the Network Discovery Configuration for the particular cloud provider:

   • Microsoft Azure - for more information, see Microsoft Azure.

   • Amazon Web Services - for more information, see Amazon Web Services.

   • Google Cloud Platform - for more information, see Google Cloud Platform.

3. Define the routing between the cloud provider private network, and the target IP address. This can be an on-premise BloxOne NIOS-X Server (DNS server) or another cloud provider. This configuration must allow traffic on port 53.
