Bridge: Microwall Bridge The Microwall Bridge operates transparently as far as the IP ranges are concerned. This means the IP ranges (Net-IDs) of the surrounding network and the island side are identical. Nevertheless, cross-network connections are only possible after establishing express release rules based on the respective involved IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. Preferred […]
The Microwall Bridge (Firewall) provides security when needed, quickly and simply and this without changing the IP configuration. The preferred area of application is therefore the easiest possible, add-on security expansion of existing infrastructures. Segmenting network and isolating of sensitive network areas is one of the basic measures in virtually any IP security concept for […]
