Requirements to integrate Trellix vIPS with AWS Gateway Load Balancer

The following table lists the requirements of different vIPS instance types to run Trellix vIPS instances.

Component	AWS Instance Type	Software Requirements	Network Requirements
Manager	c7i.2xlarge	Manager AMI	1 Network Interface
Sensor	For IPS-VM600-VSS-SSL Sensor, use c7i.2xlarge For other Sensor models, use c5.xlarge or c6i.xlarge	Sensor AMI	1 Network Interface

The following section lists the other component requirements to integrate Trellix vIPS with AWS GWLB.

Requirement	Purpose	Privileges/ Other requirements
Route Table	To route the traffic flow to the Sensor through the Endpoint and load balancer
Endpoint Service	To create Endpoint	Specify the subnets Specify the Loadbalancer type as Gateway
Endpoint	To forward the traffic flow to the load balancer	To specify the Endpoint, Endpoint Service is mandatory
Gateway Load Balancer	To forward the traffic flow to the Sensor	Trellix recommends you have at least two availability zones before deployment
Target group	To register the required Sensor to receive traffic	The Sensor should use the same VPC as the Manager
AWS GUI access	To launch Trellix vIPS AMIs and configure setup	Identify the AMI instance for deployment Identify the instances to be protected To create and manage resources in AWS you require any of the following: IAM (Identity and Access Management) user account with appropriate permissions AWS access key and secret key
Trellix IPS Manager AMI	To deploy the Manager instance
Trellix vIPS Sensor AMI	To deploy the Virtual IPS Sensor instance

The following table lists the ports for security group settings required to integrate Trellix vIPS with AWS GWLB.
