VPN/DMZ configuration help

am 15.06.2007 13:53:26 von Debo

Here's my config:
WatchGuard Firebox x750e (version 8)
WatchGuard Firebox SSL Core VPN (version 5.1)
Public IP range: xxx.xxx.xxx.112/29
Private IP range: 192.168.10.0/24

Current Topology:
Internet --- Cisco 1700 --- x750e --- LAN

Here is the config I am trying to achieve:
Internet
|
Cisco 1700
|
x750e --- (DMZ) SSL Core VPN (172.16.10.0/24)
|
LAN (192.168.10.0/24)

If I have three of my public IP address currently mapped to the
external interface of the x750, how would I be able to give the
external interface of the SSL VPN appliance a public IP? I need
another IP block don't I? I think I am way overanalyzing this scenario
so I have confused the mess out of myself. Thanks for any help.

You could put the 750e in Drop-In mode and then all interfaces would
have the same addresses (meaning that LAN/DMZ would have the same IP as
the EXT and then you create rules, same as in Routed Mode, to map ports
between the Zones (LAN/DMZ).

You could also just forward the ports needed by the SSL to the VPN
appliance from the IP you want to use.

Thanks for your reply Leythos. So what you are saying is that if I
want to run my SSL Core VPN in a true DMZ scenario I will have to
change my x750e to drop-in mode? The second option you gave for port
forwarding, if I use that I wouldn't have a true DMZ right?? So that
means I would just hook up the one interface of the SSL Core VPN?? I
called WatchGuard yesterday for some clarification and I am more
confused now than I was before. Thanks again.
