Zone-Based Firewall-Part 1 of 2-Basic Configuration

Great 60 minute video on zone-based firewalls by Solarwinds. Instructor Anthony Sequeira walks us through a couple of constructs and demonstrates the configuration.

Palo Alto Packet Processing

The flow starts with the initial "Packet Processing" ----> "Security Pre-Policy" ----> "Application" ----> "Security Policy" ----> "Post Policy Processing"

Zero Trust Networks

I find it interesting that someone is finally putting together a concept that I have been leveraging (where technology allowed me) for some time. Click the link below to find out more.

Logging - Levels

There are 8 different logging levels. Enabling higher level messages enables all lower level messages. EX: enabling Debugging level 7 enables all messages.


Level     Level Name         Description                                     Syslog Definition
0           Emergencies         The system is unusable                    LOG_EMERG
1           Alerts                   Immediate action is needed             LOG_ALERT
2           Critical                 Critical condition                             LOG_CRIT
3           Errors                  Error condition                                LOG_ERR
4          Warnings              Warning Condition                           LOG_WARNING
5          Notifications          Normal but significant condition       LOG_NOTICE
6          Informational         Informational message                     LOG_INFO
7          Debugging             Debugging message                         LOG_DEBUG

You have the option to send logging to the buffer, console, or a syslog host.
