Updating firewall policies

Let’s not forget to add a firewall rule for this traffic! The tunnel interface name is different on each Hub (since it includes the ID of the remote Hub).

We will use per-device mapping when defining our normalized interfaces in FMG:

Normalized Interface

Per-Device Mapping

OL_INET_DC2DC

DC1_FGT: OL_INET_12

DC2_FGT: OL_INET_11

OL_MPLS_DC2DC

DC1_FGT: OL_MPLS_22

DC2_FGT: OL_MPLS_21

To update firewall policies for hubs:
  1. Go to Policy & Objects > Policy Packages.
  2. In the tree menu, select the policy package for hubs, for example, DataCenter-PP. The firewall policies in the policy package are displayed.
  3. Add policies to the firewall policy:
    1. In the toolbar, click Create New. The Create New Firewall Policy pane is displayed.
    2. Create the following policy, and click OK.
