Yes, your demands are very basic for a GNAT Box - I'm surprised GTA
couldn't help - as far as I remember from earlier GNAT Boxes, this type
of scenario is covered in the manual with examples.

Anyhow, you only need two network interfaces, although you might want to
configure a third which is completely protected and isolated from the
internet, where you can keep your management station, collect logs from
the GB2000 etc.

Configure 1 interface as "EXT", one as "PRO", and another as "PSN".  The
GB2000 will replace your Cisco router.  The EXT interface obviously goes
to the public internet connection, and the PSN is where you put your
servers.  Give the EXT interface an address in your present "public"
range, and the PSN an address in the range used by your servers.  This
will ensure you don't have to make changes to any of your connected
equipment.

In the NAT section of your GB2000, create an alias for each device you
want to connect to behind the firewall - give them names which begin
with alias, so that you can distinguish between the alias and the real
thing later when you come to set up filters.  (E.G. create an alias
called "Alias WWW", on interface "EXT" with the external (public)
address of your web server.

Now create inbound tunnels for each of the aliases to the device you
want to connect to, for example, Tunnel Description "Access to web
server", protocol TCP, from interface "Alias WWW" from port 80 to IP
address 192.168.100.www (where www is the real address of your server)to
port 80.

Now create a Remote Access Filter to allow this tunnel to be used.  This
will be something like :- type - Accept, Interface - EXT, Protocol -
TCP, Source - ANY_IP, port(s) - leave blank, destination address - Alias
WWW, port(s) 80.

You've now done everything that you need to allow port 80 traffic only
to your web server.  Obviously you may want to add multiple ports
depending on what services are run on each server.

Hopefully this will get you started, regards,

Subject: [gb-users] Newbie needs help


I didn't get even close to the answers I needed in my first support call
to GTA so I am hoping this group can help.

I just received a new GB 2000 and I need to set it up for a very basic
(in my opinion) configuration. I can't get past the first step.

Currently I have a CISCO router configured with one interface to the
public net, the other is to my internal network which is all 192.168.x.x
The CISCO is currently handling the NAT'ing using static NAT's
(192.168.100.x = 64.58.110.x) All of the hosts behind the router are net
servers (web,email,ftp,dns) This is a colo rack, so there is not another
network, ie: workstations)

Obviously I need public access to all the internet related services, and
everything else should be blocked. We plan on implementing the mail
sentinel later but not until we get familiar with the basic
configuration.

Is there a simple answer to how I configure the GB interfaces or a
simple example?

TIA,

Jack Evans
