Scenario: DMZ Configuration
This chapter describes a configuration scenario in which the security appliance is
used to protect network resources located in a demilitarized zone (DMZ). A DMZ
is a separate network located in the neutral zone between a private (inside)
network and a public (outside) network.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Example DMZ Network Topology, page 2-1
• Configuring the Security Appliance for a DMZ Deployment, page 2-4
• What to Do Next, page 2-24
Example DMZ Network Topology
The example network topology shown in Figure 2-1 is typical of most DMZ
implementations of the security appliance.
