Routed Network Configuration

The routed network configuration is for situations where the Firebox is put in place with separate logical networks on its interfaces. It is illustrated below:


The routed network configuration must assign separate network address ranges to at least two of the Firebox's three interfaces (External, Trusted, and Optional). If you have two separate network addresses and you want to use the multiple configuration, use only the External and Trusted interfaces (that is, don't use the Optional interface) because each interface must be on a separate network in multiple configuration mode.

If you have three or more network addresses, use the routed network configuration and map three networks to the three interfaces. Add additional networks as Secondary Networks to one or more of the interfaces. You can relate different networks to different interfaces. Those networks then come under the protection and access rules set up for that interface. The Firebox forwards packets to the various interfaces depending on how the networks and hosts are configured and defined.
