FWSM - Need same security level question

chuckholley — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 01:03:49 GMT

I have a FWSM 4.1(8) with multiple contexts configured. In question here are 2 contexts with the same security level of 50. I have the "enable traffic between two or more contexts with same security level" unchecked...and i need to keep it that way. However, today, i have been asked for an exception...of course.

So is there a way I can accomplish this for the two hosts without allowing any other hosts to talk to each other?

Thank You for your assistance!!

Hello Chuck,

Two contexts. hmm let me explain you something:

The whole concept of allowing same security level traffic will apply when we are on a single box . In this case our traffic must go to the outside world from one of our contexts to be able to get to the other context, in that particular case then the traffic will be seen just like an outside user so policies will need to be done in order to allow inbound traffic ( ACL checks,etc).

I hope I was clear
