CHAPTER 6
DEFINING LAYER 2 FIREWALLS
This chapter contains the steps needed to complete the Layer 2 Firewall engine configuration
that prepares the SMC for a McAfee Layer 2 Firewall engine installation.
Very little configuration is done directly on the engines. Most of the configuration is done
using the Management Client, so the engines cannot be successfully installed before defining
them in the SMC as outlined in this chapter.
The following sections are included:
Getting Started with Defining Layer 2 Firewalls (page 44)
Creating Engine Elements (page 44)
Defining System Communication Interfaces for Layer 2 Firewall Engines (page 45)
Setting Interface Options for Layer 2 Firewall Engines (page 47)
Defining Traffic Inspection Interfaces for Layer 2 Firewall Engines (page 48)
Finishing the Engine Configuration (page 51)
