Do the MG Cell Gateways require a MX?

[scrapiron]

A client needs a cellular connection as their primary as the ADSL is unusable. They use other network equipment including their firewall. Can I deploy a single MG to a new Org without any MX behind it? Anything features or functionality lost if you don't have a MX?

Thanks

That works fine.

Things missing or different from an MX:

• No content filtering, IPS, etc.
• DHCP on the LAN side can only be from a /29 to a /26.  You can not have a /24.  So this limits the number of clients.
• No traffic shapping, firewall rules or group policy
•  

This is what the menu under the cellular gateway looks like:

This is what it looks like under an MX:

You'll notice there are a lot of menu items missing ...

If you are going to plug their firewall into the MG, it should be fine.
