Hi Marksmt,
Welcome to the community!

About the question to config certificate,suggest you config it refer to FVS336Gv3 manual.
Here is the manual link:
http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/FVS336GV3/FVS336Gv3_RM_EN.pdf

Simple steps for reference:
1.Get the trusted certificates,upload it to device under trusted certificates.
2.Generate self certificate on device
3.Active self certificate
4.Config IPSec VPN

Thanks.

Hi Dan

Many thanks for the response.

I spotted that stuff in the manual, but I wondered if I would be correct in deducing that "trusted certificate" in this context excludes Netgear internal default ones. i.e. from an implementation point of view does this imply that I need to purchase/source a trusted cert from a CA? Does this mean I can export the existing internal trusted (?) Netgear cert from the UTM and import into the FVS?

Hi Marksmt,
The root(trusted) certificate can use to FVS,but other self cert can't,need to regenerate.

Thanks,

Dan
