Zone configuration
Multizone FWLB allows you to configure ServerIron ADXs to forward packets based on the
destination zone. For example, if your network consists of an Internet side, an internal side, and a
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in between, you can configure ServerIron ADXs to forward packets
through the firewalls to the correct zone.
When you configure multizone FWLB, you first identify a zone by configuring standard Access
Control Lists (ACLs). An ACL specifies the IP addresses (or address ranges) within the zone. When
you configure the firewall group parameters, you add the zones and define them by associating the
ACLs with them. Each zone consists of a zone number, an optional name, and a standard ACL that
specifies the IP addresses contained in the zone.
You can configure multizone FWLB for basic configurations and IronClad (high-availability)
configurations. This section provides an example for each type of configuration.
When the ServerIron ADX forwards a packet, it selects a path that goes through a firewall to a
ServerIron ADX that is in the zone that contains the destination IP address of the packet.
The configuration tasks for multizone FWLB are the same as other FWLB implementations, with the
exception of the configuration for the zones.
Consider the following when you configure zones:
Do not define zone 1. When zone 1 is undefined, the zone by default contains all IP addresses
that are not explicitly configured as members of other zones (zones 2 through 10). In typical
configurations, the ServerIron ADXs in the DMZ and the internal network contain zone
definitions for each other, while none of the ServerIron ADXs contains a zone definition for
zone 1 (thus leaving zone 1 undefined). As a result, traffic that is not destined for an address in
the DMZ or the internal network is sent to the Internet.
You can define zone 1, but if you do, this zone contains only the IP address ranges you
configure for the zone.
Do not configure zone information on a ServerIron ADX for the zone the ServerIron ADX is in.
