RE: [FW1] Management server placement



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

John,

I used to have my management station in the protected network until I
ran into some routing problems with remote firewalls. In order to
solve the problems, I placed the MS in a DMZ. I have 3 DMZ's, and I
placed it in the most secure of those DMZ's. The problem with placing
it in an 'ordinary' DMZ with web servers, mail servers etc is that if
one of those machines becomes compromised, it is possible to launch
an attack from a compromised box to the management console. The DMZ I
placed the MS in only has Cisco routers which encrypt traffic with
other sites. The rules for that DMZ are very strict - only other
routers are allowed to talk to my Cisco's (known by IP), and only a
nominated GUI workstation is allowed to talk to the MS. This reduces
the possibility of someone getting access to the MS and compromising
your network.

Craig.

    Should the management server be on the internal network behind
the Firewall
module of should it be located on the DMZ network?

Thanks.
