Scenario 2: Basic Installation with DMZ
For information about how to configure your adaptive security appliance for this
deployment, see Chapter 5, “Configuring the Adaptive Security Appliance.”
Scenario 2: Basic Installation with DMZ
In this scenario, the adaptive security appliance is used to protect network
resources located in a demilitarized zone (DMZ) in addition to the inside network.
A DMZ is a separate network located in the neutral zone between a private
(inside) network and a public (outside) network.
HTTP clients on the private network can access the web server in the DMZ and
can also communicate with devices on the Internet.
