Watch a video about ZIA gateways.

You can create gateway objects to configure the proxy gateway which enables you to forward any traffic to specific destinations via Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA). A proxy gateway allows you to define a primary proxy and a secondary proxy to which the traffic can be forwarded and define how traffic should be handled when both the proxies are unreachable.

In the Add ZIA Gateway window:

1. Go to Administration > Gateways.
2. Select the ZIA Gateway tab.

3. Click Add ZIA Gateway.
