How to Manage the Traffic between the Firewall & Switch ?

Ganesan Palaniappan · ‎04-25-2012

Hi,

I have a setup where the Client Network is connected to a Firewall and it is being managed by the client. That firewall is connected to my Network also.

As it is connected to my network also i don't have any control to view the Traffic hitting my network from the Client Network.

Is there any way i can control the traffic from the Firewall at the Switch where the Firewall is connected.

Or is there any Linux box i can connect to restrict the traffic which is hitting my network from the Client.

Attached a Simple block diagram for your reference. Kindly help.

Regards,

Ganesh,

You can put a SPAN on the switch and check the traffic arriving to your network and then Apply Vlan filter to filter the traffic entering your network.
