Bridge through Firewall Revised August 8th 2001
Objectives Run Bridge through the firewall but block SQL port 1433 for inbound traffic. There should be no SQL initialization from DMZ zone.
Firewall Setup
Bridge Source = DMZ CORE Destination = Central Core DSM Bridge WV Gateways UDP 162, ICMP Ping SQL 1433 FIREWALL Host A UDP Traps Common Services CORE Host WV Gateway Common Services SQL Port Outbound traffic – Bridge Pulls information from inside the firewall WV Gateway DMZ Core Central Core
Inbound Rules SQL Port Blocked from DMZ to Private
Outbound Rules SQL Port Open for Private to DMZ traffic
Active Connections
Denials List SQL Port Blocked from DMZ, initialization denied
Bridge Configuration RGT1N = Core outside Firewall DAWYA01D = Core Inside the Firewall Bridge Running inside Firewall
Destination Core Core Inside the Firewall Status in sync with DMZ core
Maintaining Status Any Status updates in DMZ core will be propagated to the Central CORE. Be selective on Bridge Rules – DMZ core should be relatively small as it would need to transmit all worldview notification Source CORE not in the same server as the Bridge Instance. Not best practice
WorldView Notification
NodeView from Private Network 7774 unblocked for outbound traffic
AgentView with Routing 7774 unblocked for outbound traffic
