Jayapal, I had another question regarding the UI implementation:
In UI Changes section , following is mentioned: "The following changes are needed for the networks page for the external device SRX network. 1. Network ->Guest Network ->View IP Addresses -> <IP Address> -> Configuration a. Hide the Firewall when Port forwarding is configured on IP Address." >> How do we prevent the case when the user creates a firewall first and then >> he tries to create a PF/LB rule (when we use SRX/F5 inline mode) ? In this >> case what should be the expected behavior? Do we actually configure the user >> created firewall , PF rule and also create firewalls for the PF rule (if the >> port used in the create firewall is different from that provided in the PF >> rule) ?

Acquire Ip P4. 2. Create Firewall for port 22. 3. Enable static NAT on P2 for VM2. 4. Disable static NAT. 5. Enable static NAT 7.PublicNetwork# ssh <P4> (ssh to VM1 should success)" In this case, step 3 , i assume should be P4. After Step4 , In the SRX side , we will see both the firewall rule and static NAT being deleted. But in cloud DB we will still have the firewall rules present. Is this correct? After Step5 , In the SRX side , we will see both the firewall rule and static NAT being created back in SRX side. Is this correct? 2) What will the behavior in the following use case where user deletes a firewall that was created for a Static NAT rule ? 1. Acquire Ip address. 2. Create an Static NAT rule. 3. Create Firewall rules for port 22. 4. Create Firewall rule for port 80. 5. Delete firewall rule for port 22. 6. Delete firewall rule for port 80. 7. Add firewall rule for port 22. After Step 5 , In SRX , we expect the firewall rule for port 22 to be deleted. After Step 6 , In SRX , Do we expect the firewall rule for port 80 and Static NAT rule to be deleted ? After Step 7 , In SRX , Do we expect the firewall rule for port 22 and Static NAT rule to be created ? -Thanks Sangeetha -----Original Message----- From: Jayapal Reddy Uradi [mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 7:43 AM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org; Alena Prokharchyk Subject: RE: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on the SRX Updated the FS as per the discussion. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Static+NAT,+Port+Forwarding+and+Firewall+Implementation+on+SRX Thanks, Jayapal > -----Original Message----- > From: Jayapal Reddy Uradi [mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2012 12:44 PM > To: Alena Prokharchyk; cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on > the SRX > > Please see my comments inline. > > -Jayapal > > From: Alena Prokharchyk > Sent: Monday, October 15, 2012 10:04 PM > To: Jayapal Reddy Uradi; cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on > the SRX > > > > From: Jayapal Reddy Uradi > <jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com<mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com>> > To: Alena Prokharchyk > <alena.prokharc...@citrix.com<mailto:alena.prokharc...@citrix.com>>, > "cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org<mailto:cloudstack- > d...@incubator.apache.org>" <cloudstack- > d...@incubator.apache.org<mailto:cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org>> > Subject: RE: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on > the SRX > > Hi Alena, > > Please see my comments inline, > > -Jayapal > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alena Prokharchyk > Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 10:19 PM > To: Jayapal Reddy Uradi; cloudstack- > d...@incubator.apache.org<mailto:cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org> > Subject: Re: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on > the SRX Jayapal, please see my comments inline. > -Alena. > On 10/11/12 11:07 PM, "Jayapal Reddy Uradi" > <jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com<mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com>> > wrote: > >Alena, > > > >Please find my inline comments. > > > >Thanks, > >Jayapal > > > >Thanks, > >Jayapal > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: Alena Prokharchyk > >Sent: Friday, October 12, 2012 5:54 AM > >To: > >cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org<mailto:cloudstack- > d...@incubator.apa > >che.org>; Jayapal Reddy Uradi > >Subject: Re: StaticNAT, Portforwarding and FIrewall implemenation on > >the SRX > > > >Jayapal, I reviewed the spec.
