I'm coming from the Land of Checkpoint of please excuse the potentially silly question.. Management Rules

john frazer

In the world of Checkpoint we often begin the rulebase with a rule or rules permitting communication between nodes or networks and the gateway itself.  Are such rules not necessary with the Sophos XG platform/architecture? 

Thank you,

    John,

    XG uses 2 ways to manage traffic:

    • Firewall rules are used to allow/block traffic coming/going to network declared on XG. For example lan to wan, lan to lan, dmz to lan,etc.
    • Device access, Under Administration menu: are used to allow services to XG itself. So if you need to allow web admin interface from only one PC or only from lan zone, this is the place to have a look at.

    Checkpoint uses zone concept too so you should be familiar with.

    Ask one question per thread.

    Regards

    Thank you.  Sophos XG is quite different from Checkpoint R77 in that way.
