Scenario: DMZ Configuration
This chapter describes a configuration scenario in which the adaptive 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 6-1
• Configuring the Security Appliance for a DMZ Deployment, page 6-4
• What to Do Next, page 6-24
Example DMZ Network Topology
The example network topology shown in Figure 6-1 is typical of most DMZ
implementations of the adaptive security appliance.
