Getting Started | Page 2

This page of the wizard shows template objects and their configuration. Standard template objects represent firewalls with two or three interfaces, a host with one interface, a web server or a Cisco router. We'll choose "fw template 3", a firewall with three interfaces, for this example. Click Next to create a new firewall object using the chosen template.

Note that the template firewall object comes completely configured, including addresses and netmasks for its interfaces and some basic policy and NAT rules. This configuration is intended as a starting point only. You should reconfigure addresses of interfaces to match those used on your network. We'll see how this is done later on.

Clicking "Next" brings us to the next page of the wizard where we can change configuration of the interfaces of the template firewall.
