Zone Core Protection

A feature that requires additional firewalls and Mediation LAN switches. The core routers and exit routers connect to Mediation LAN switches. These connections allow traffic from remote sites into the ZCP firewalls at the master site. The firewall monitors traffic and applies policies and rules to determine what traffic is safe to allow into the zone core. A Centralized Event Logging (CEL) server can be added to collect Syslog messages from Event Logging clients in the remote sites and Mediation LAN, and an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) switch can be added to monitor traffic from both the Mediation LAN switch and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) switch.
