Another advantage of state sharing is that while many connections are blocked on
the first packet based on access control rules or other factors, there are cases
where the system allows some number of packets through before determining
that the connection should be blocked. With state sharing, the system
immediately blocks the connection on the peer device or stack as well.
You can enable state sharing on clustered Series 3 managed devices with a

Gateway VPN
You can now configure the Sourcefire 3D System to build secure Virtual Private
Network (VPN) tunnels between virtual routers on Sourcefire managed devices
and a remote device. After the VPN connection is established, the hosts behind
the local gateway can connect to the hosts behind the remote gateway through
the secure VPN tunnel.
The Sourcefire 3D System builds tunnels using the Internet Protocol Security
The Sourcefire 3D System builds tunnels using the Internet Protocol Security
(IPSec) protocol suite. The system uses the IKE protocol to mutually authenticate
the two gateways against each other as well as to negotiate the security
association (SA) for the tunnel. Packets across a VPN tunnel are supported for
both the Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
security protocols.
The system supports three types of VPN deployments: point-to-point, star, and

In a star VPN deployment, a central endpoint (hub node) establishes a secure
connection with multiple remote endpoints (leaf nodes). Star deployments
commonly represent a VPN that connects an organization’s main and branch
office locations using secure connections over the Internet or other third-party
network. Star VPN deployments provide all employees with controlled access to
the organization’s network.
In a mesh VPN deployment, all endpoints can communicate with every other
In a mesh VPN deployment, all endpoints can communicate with every other
endpoint by means of an individual VPN tunnel. The mesh deployment offers
redundancy so that when one endpoint fails, the remaining endpoints can still
communicate with each other. This type of deployment commonly represents a
VPN that connects a group of decentralized branch office locations.

Note that this feature is only available on Series 3 devices. To deploy VPN, you
must enable Protection, Control, and VPN licenses on each of the managed
devices used for the VPN.
