10.5 Routing Mode
10.5.1 Firewall
At the present time, we have configured the TMS zl Module with VLAN associations to
zones and IP addresses for those VLANs. However, without any specified access
policies in place, there is no traffic flowing between zones. Unlike some firewalls, the
TMS zl Module has no “priority” setting for zones with defaults allowing higher security
levels to communicate with lower security levels. With the TMS zl Module, you must
specify the access policies for any communication to take place.
Now we are ready to add some access policies. Let’s review our diagram. We are going
to have the TMS zl Module take over routing functionality from the 5406. We have
effectively done this for our simple network by assigning the TMS zl Module IP
addresses for VLANs 3 and 4. These VLANs are mapped to Zone5 for Clients and
Zone6 for Servers.
