DLP- E191 Provision a Firewall Tunnel

Step 5 Continue with your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-E191 Provision a Firewall Tunnel

Purpose

This task provisions destinations that will not be blocked by the firewall.

 

Firewall tunnels are only necessary when the proxy server is enabled and a

 

foreign DCC termination exists, or if static routes exist so that the DCC

 

network is used to access remote networks or devices. You can provision a

 

maximum of 12 firewall tunnels.

Tools/Equipment

None

Note If the proxy server is configured as proxy-only or is disabled, you cannot set up a firewall tunnel.

Step 1 Click the Provisioning > Network > Firewall subtabs.

Step 2 Click Create.

Step 3 In the Create Tunnel dialog box, complete the following:

Source Address—Type the IP address of the source node (32 bit length) or source subnet (any other length).

Length—Choose the length of the source subnet mask.

Destination Address—Type the IP address of the destination node (32 bit length) or destination subnet (any other length).

Length—Choose the length of the destination subnet mask.

Step 4 Click OK.

Step 5 Continue with your originating procedure (NTP).
