Configuring the
IP Network
Restricting LAN access (firewall)
You can use Mitel Networks 6000 Small Business
Applications Platform (SBAP) or the SonicWALL™
SOHO2 Internet security appliance to create a secure
barrier (firewall) between the 3100 ICP local network and
the public Internet. A firewall keeps a network secure
from external intruders.
This section provides instructions on how to
• connect the 6000 SBAP to a layer-2 switch port on the
3100 ICP system (recommended setup)
• connect the 6000 SBAP to the WAN port on the 3100
ICP system
• connect the SonicWall SOHO2 to a layer-2 switch
port on the 3100 ICP system
You can also use other firewall products, if desired; they
would be configured in a similar manner.
Connecting the 6000 SBAP to the layer-2 switch
port
This configuration uses a port on the 3100 ICP system.
All 6000 SBAP services are supported.
Configuring the 6000 SBAP for connection to a layer-2
switch port
