Enabling the Firewall on Router Interfaces
After you have created a firewall on the router, use the BCC to enable it on one or
more interfaces. For each interface on which you want to enable the firewall, do
the following:
1.
Navigate to the IP interface-specific prompt.
2.
Add a firewall to the interface.
3.
Optionally, specify a firewall name.
4.
Optionally, set the policy index.
Navigating to the Prompt for the IP Interface
To navigate to the IP interface on which you want to enable the firewall, first
navigate to the prompt for the slot/connector on which you have configured the IP
interface (for example,
box; eth 2/1
). Then enter:
ip address
<ip_address>
mask
<address_mask>
ip_address
is the IP address you have assigned to the interface.
address_mask
is the mask associated with the IP address.
The prompt for the IP interface appears.
Note:
Once the firewall is protecting your router, and you put firewall
protection on a new interface, the new interface will use the default security
policy supplied by Check Point, which prevents the new interface from
communicating with the router.
You can download your customized security policy to the new interface using
the Check Point FireWall-1 command line interface (CLI). You can also use
the Check Point FireWall-1 graphical user interface (GUI) to download the
security policy. The GUI, however, downloads the same security policy to all
interfaces. For further information and instructions, see your Check Point
documentation.
