SNS firewall configuration modes

The configuration recommendations provided in this document can be applied in various ways:

• SNS firewall side:

  • Via the SNS firewall web administration interface,

  • Via the SNS command line interface through SSH.

• SMC server side:

  • Via direct access to the SNS firewalls' web administration interface from the SMC server, without the need to re-authenticate. This access makes it possible to manage the entire configuration of an SNS firewall,

  • Via the SMC server's web administration interface, to configure certain features on several SNS firewalls,

  • Via SNS CLI scripts, to automate tasks on several SNS firewalls.

In this document, configuration recommendations apply to the web administration interface on SNS firewalls, and when possible, to the web administration interface of the SMC server.

For more information on the configuration of SNS firewalls and the SMC server, refer to the SNS Technical documentation and SMC Administration guide.
