Configuration Fundamentals
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Step1
Before configuring the firewall, you should summarize the networking requirements, including the
networking objective, role of the firewall in the network, division of subnets, WAN type and transmission
medium, network security policy and network reliability.
Step2
Based on the above requirements, draw a clear, complete network diagram.
Step3
Configure the WAN interface of the firewall and the operating parameters of the interface according to
the WAN transmission medium.
Step4
Configure IP addresses of interfaces on the firewall according to the division of the subnets.
Step5
Configure routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, configure related operating
parameters of the protocol.
Step6
Perform special security configuration for the firewall if necessary.
