9. The Summary page displays a summary of all the configuration you have performed in the
wizard. It should show:
Server Address Objects
The wizard creates the address object for the new server. Because the IP address of the
server added in the example is in the IP address range assigned to the DMZ, the wizard
binds the address object to the DMZ zone. It gives the object a name of the name you
specified for the server plus “_private”. If you specify an IP in the range of another zone, it
will bind the address object to that zone. If you specify an IP address out of the range of
any zone you have configured, the wizard will bind the address object to the LAN zone.
Because the server in the example used the default WAN IP address for the Server Public
IP Address, the wizard states that it will use the existing WAN address object when
constructing policies between the new server and the WAN. If you specify another address,
the server will create an object for that address bound to the WAN zone and assign the new
address object a name of the name you specified for the server plus “_public”.
Server Service Group Object
The wizard creates a service group object for the services used by the new server. Because
the server in the example is a web server, the service group includes HTTP and HTTPS.
This way, you have a convenient group to refer to when creating or editing access policies
for this server.
Server NAT Policies
The wizard creates a NAT policy to translate the destination addresses of all incoming
packets with one of the services in the new service group and addressed to the WAN
address to the address of the new server. Therefore, in this example, if a packet with
service type of HTTPS comes in addressed to the WAN interface (10.0.93.43), the NAT
policy will translate its address to 172.22.2.44.
The wizard also creates a Loopback NAT policy to translate HTTP and HTTPS traffic from
inside your network addressed to the WAN IP address back to the address of the mail
server.
Server Access Rules
The wizard creates an access policy allowing all mail traffic service traffic from the WAN
zone to the DMZ.
