XSR with Firewall

In this scenario, the XSR acts as a router connecting a branch office to the Internet, as illustrated in

Figure 16-14

. The branch office has two servers (Web and Mail) accessible from the external world

and an internal network of hosts which are protected from the external world by the firewall. The
Web and Mail servers are part of the DMZ and considered internal by the XSR. Note that some
commands have been abbreviated.

This configuration, illustrated in

Figure 16-14

, provides private and dmz networks with unlimited

access between each other while protecting traffic to and from the external interface only - this is
done by enabling the firewall on the external interface only. No policies are defined for traffic
between private and dmz networks. Also, all Java and ActiveX pages, IP options, IP broadcast and
multicast packets are banned.
