General Networking

The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway has two network adapters installed. If two network adapters are used, then one network adapter communicates with the Internet and computers that are not inside the cor- porate network. The other network adapter communicates with the internal network.

If one network adapter is used, it has to be routable for internal resources using Network Address Trans- lation (NAT). The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway network adapter settings are as follows:

IP address and Subnet mask for Interface 0 and, if used, Interface 1

When connecting the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to your network, you typically place it either inside of a firewall, inside of a server load balancer, or connected to two physical networks along side your firewall (“straddling” a firewall). If the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is inside a firewall or connected to a server load balancer, choose Use Only Interface 0.

The Firebox SSL VPN Gateway located inside the firewall.

If the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway is in the DMZ, choose Use both interfaces. Use Interface 0 for the exter- nal connection and Interface 1 for the internal connection.
