Network Information Worksheet
It will be helpful if you gather and verify your network information before you begin
appliance installation and setup. By filling out the Network Planning worksheet, you
can expedite your installation. An example of the worksheet is provided below with
descriptions for the information it includes. A blank copy of the worksheet is included
in the Appendix for your use.
Note: The internal network consists of addresses on the protected network that are
not associated with a perimeter or external network interface. IP addresses on
the LAN are typically part of the internal network. The Celestix DAX appliance
installation process depends on the correct configuration of the internal
network (LAN) adapter so that the Celestix DAX appliance firewall system policy
is applied correctly. Network infrastructure services such as Active Directory®
domain controllers, internal DNS servers, DHCP servers, Windows Internet
Name Service (WINS) servers, Terminal Services, Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and others depend on
the correct configuration of the internal network. Incorrect configuration of
internal network addresses could compromise the DAX firewall appliance.
