<title>Ongoing Configuration of External Firewalls and Load Balancers</title>
|
|
<para>Additional user actions (e.g. setting a port forward) will cause further programming of the firewall and load balancer. A user may request additional public IP addresses and forward traffic received at these IPs to specific VMs. This is accomplished by enabling static NAT for a public IP address, assigning the IP to a VM, and specifying a set of protocols and port ranges to open. When a static NAT rule is created, &PRODUCT; programs the zone's external firewall with the following objects:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>A static NAT rule that maps the public IP address to the private IP address of a VM.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>A security policy that allows traffic within the set of protocols and port ranges that are specified.</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>A firewall filter counter that measures the number of bytes of incoming traffic to the public IP.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>The number of incoming and outgoing bytes through source NAT, static NAT, and load balancing rules is measured and saved on each external element. This data is collected on a regular basis and stored in the &PRODUCT; database.</para>
