Title: Need help with setting up firewall rule on Virtual EFW 2.5
Post by: MJP on Monday 03 November 2014, 04:36:53 am
I am trying to use the EFW 2.5 in a VMware ESX virtual environment and need some assistance with a way to configure a firewall rule so that I can open TCP-UDP traffic to travel from GREEN zone back out to the RED zone. In my setup I have my ISP cable modem connected to a DD-WRT router firewall which has a LAN address of 192.168.1.1/24.

The Virtual appliance NIC assignments are configured as below:

NIC1 (RED)         192.168.1.2              (management network)
NIC2 (GREEN)     192.168.199.254      (private network)
NIC3 (ORANGE)   172.16.0.254           (DMZ)

My VMware ESX Host management network IP = 192.168.1.10

The infrastructure virtual machines residing in the GREEN zone and there is one particular server (vCenter) 192.168.199.10 which I would like it to be able to communicate back out to the Physcial ESX host 192.168.1.10.

I have tried all the different options available in the GUI but just can't figure out how to do this.

Could someone please confirm whether it is at all possible to do something like the above considering the EFW is a UTM and by default all traffic is blocked from traveling back out from GREEN ----> RED?

Is there a workaround I can use?

why using management ip in red if you have vcenter in green?
