Planning ISA when External is Internal - 26.Aug.2008 3:17:48 PM

hi everyone,

I would like to plan an ISA in my network that is separating my trusted lan (after the ISA there is FW) and a DMZ lan (not internet, only a couple of servers for temporary workers).
In this case, I cannot configure the Internal (into ISA) as internal but as the DMZ lan (no default gateway, the ISA is the DG). In this case also, my trusted network is the External (into ISA).

How do I configure my ISA in this original topology ?

Thank you for helping,

So to clarify, what you want to have is the following:

Firewall
    ||
  ISA=DMZ
    ||
LAN

Correct?

not exactly :


DMZ servers (without DG - private ip's)
  ||
ISA
  ||
FW
  ||
Lan (trusted area)

Place you ISA Server external interface facing the FW (towards your trusted LAN) and place the Internal interface towards your DMZ servers. You ISA Server "Internal" network will then be the DMZ subnet used to host your temp worker servers.

With this topology, you will protect the DMZ servers from your LAN (and vice versa) and you can provide access to the protected servers using web and server publishing as necessary. If you create a route relationship between Internal and External, you could then also use access rules for control if web/server publishing doesn't meet your needs.

I have used this setup when customers want to protect servers from the LAN *and* the Internet but have an existing firewall at the edge that needs to remain for primary perimeter network duties...

Cheers

I configured the FW as you said ... when the FW service is up the packets are "denied" in the FW (when I stop ISA service, everything is OK).
I create a first rule that allows averything to everything ... without success.

1) is there any "system Policy" I have to change in that configuration ?
2) is there any article that explains how to configure ISA in this type of topology ?
3) is there a network template better than "Edge Firewall" in that configuration ? (maybe "Front Firewall" ?)

Thank you for helping.

What are you actually trying to do with ISA? Can you provide more detail on the firewall policy you hav created?

The edge firewall template should be fine - are you using the default network rules from this template?

By default, system policy will define a lot of elements using the "Internal" network object, however in your setup Internal is the protected network and unlikely to contains the normal infrastucture servers. Hence you will need to work your way through the system policies and modify them to reflect you trusted LAN infrastructure like DNS servers, AD etc. and remove the references to Internal as these will likely be irrelevant for your topology.

This series of articles might provide some good background...

I found the solution of my problem : I just had to configure a new network into ISA (before I used "external" as the network for my trusted area).

Thank you all for he help.
