Network Deployment Configuration

The Network Deployment Configuration dialog selects the type of network deployment that the X family device will use. The following deployments are available:

•Routed mode: All IP subnets are unique, and addressees that traverse to the WAN zone may be subject to Network Address Translation (NAT).

•NAT mode: Hosts in the LAN zone run in a private IP address range, and hosts in the WAN zone run in a public IP address range. Addressees that traverse to the WAN zone may be subject to Network Address Translation (NAT).

•Transparent (Layer 2) mode: Firewalls are enforceable between security zones, but all zones are are in the same broadcast domain.

NAT mode and Routed mode require internal and external virtual interfaces (VIs). The device has a single internal VI and a single external VI configured by default. Virtual Interface Configuration is discussed in detail in “Virtual Interface Configuration” on page 9.

Example

The X-Series device may be configured into a number of well known network deployments.

Virtual Interface Configuration

The virtual interface dialog of the initial setup wizard modifies the configuration of the internal and external interfaces and includes IP allocation, IP subnet, default gateway, and enabling or disabling NAT.

Example

In this example, the default interface IP addresses are reviewed and accepted:

Virtual interfaces define how this device integrates with the IP layer 3 network. You must configure one virtual interface for every IP subnet that is directly connected to the X-Series device. For example, you need one for the WAN connection (external virtual interface) and one for every directly connected network subnet (internal virtual interfaces).
