Re: [FW-1] Adding remote firewall modules



Change in IP address will mean you will need to update the rulebase and
reestablish the putkeys.
As for sending the config (pushing the policy), by default, FW-1 will use
S/Key authentication for all intra firewall traffic, and if you have the
VPN-1 license as well, it will use fwa-1 authentication/encryption to send
the traffic.
In your particular case, I'd advise you install the firewall at your site,
so that it accepts telnet or SSH, ship it to site, remotely update putkeys,
and then push the policy down.

Subject: [FW-1] Adding remote firewall modules


Hi all

I`m about to upgrade from a single management/firewall unit by adding
another firewall unit at another site, and I have a few (probably very
simple) questions...

If I configure the second firewall unit here, install software, register it
with the management module and ship to other site, will the change of IP
address cause any problems in the rules base or firewall authentication?

When you send the config to the remote firewalls, which IP address does it
use? If its the external IP, is that traffic encrypted between management
module and firewall module? (We have Internal WAN connection on the inside
between the sites)

Any other gotchas I need to be aware of that I wouldnt have come across
whilst running only a single management/firewall unit?

Any help with these issues would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in
advance for your help.
