Chapter 5 Configuring the Firewall Mode
Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode
Setting Transparent or Routed Firewall Mode
You can set each context to run in routed firewall mode (the default) or transparent firewall mode.
When you change modes, the FWSM clears the configuration because many commands are not
supported for both modes. If you already have a populated configuration, be sure to back up your
configuration before changing the mode; you can use this backup for reference when creating your new
configuration.
If you download a text configuration to the FWSM that changes the mode with the
firewall transparent
command, be sure to put the command at the top of the configuration; the FWSM changes the mode as
soon as it reads the command and then continues reading the configuration you downloaded. If the
command is later in the configuration, the FWSM clears all the preceding lines in the configuration.
•
To set the mode to transparent, enter the following command in each context:
hostname(config)#
firewall transparent
•
To set the mode to routed, enter the following command in each context:
hostname(config)#
no firewall transparent
