  • 1.  quick question: dmz vs. trusted?

    Posted 06-06-2011 07:40

    We have a SSG 520 -> it has been setup by others, but, we are starting to get more involved.. so... an early 'simple' question.....

     

    What is the difference between a DMZ (eth0/1) and TRUSTED (eth0/0)?

     

    thanks...

    Hi,


    They are both security zones.  Most customers I come across move their external services to the DMZ and add restrictive policies (i.e. from untrust to dmz, server/MIP x.x.x.x, permit 80, but not from dmz to trust).
