Virtual IP

Use virtual IPs to access IP addresses on a destination network that are hidden from the source network by NAT security policies. To allow connections between these networks, you must create a mapping between an address on the source network and the real address on the destination network. This mapping is called a virtual IP.

For example, if the computer hosting your web server is located on your DMZ network, it could have a private IP address such as 10.10.10.3. To get packets from the Internet to the web server, you must have an external address for the web server on the Internet. You must then add a virtual IP to the firewall that maps the external IP address of the web server to the actual address of the web server on the DMZ network. To allow connections from the Internet to the web server, you must then add an external->DMZ firewall policy and set Destination to the virtual IP.
