Initial Setup in Routing Mode

Overview

This setup chapter provides instructions for the initial setup in routing mode.

At this point, you should have decided which operating mode you want to use.

(See “Operating Modes” in Chapter 1: “Overview.”) You have chosen routing

mode because you want to take advantage of these features:

■ Firewall

• Application-level gateways (ALGs)

• Network address translation (NAT)

■ Virtual private networks (VPNs)

■ Intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS)

■ High availability (HA) clusters

■ Network authentication

If you want to enable only the IDS features listed below, see Chapter 3: “Initial

Setup in Monitor Mode.”

■ Passive monitoring of threats inside your network

■ Monitoring remote traffic for intrusions that do not pass through the

switch where the module is deployed

■ Monitoring intrusions but not preventing or blocking them

■ Monitoring traffic without deploying an appliance in-line in a high-band-

width network, such as a research and development laboratory

Note A TMS zl Module can run in only one operating mode at a time. If you switch

from one operating mode to another, the module will revert to the factory

defaults for the new mode, or it will revert to any settings that you may have

configured previously for that mode.

Routing Mode

Routing is the default operating mode for the TMS zl Module. It is a Layer 3

mode in which the TMS zl Module acts as a router for TMS VLANs, which it

filters and controls.
