As per the previous post, I will put everything I can in table form(partly due to the fact that I enjoy creating tables for no apparent reason and also because the look GOOD)
So yea, lets cut the chase and review what we have learned for this week:
| Periperhal Name | Explaination of Usage |
|---|---|
| Perimeter Router (Standalone) | To Provide protection for an enclosed network from the cloud (General Internet) Protection provided is minimal and is only used to prevent casual attacks from outside of the trusted network. |
| Internal Router(Normally used with Firewall and Perimeter Router already in place) | To provide connectivity to other parts of the network in the case that the perimeter router is unavailable. (E.g Connection to the Corporate's own server in the DMZ is available for connections from private network, but is not available for connections originating from the cloud (internet) |
| Firewall | Used to provide packet screening and directing of packets. Useful in networks with DMZ and private network so as to prevent the cloud(internet) from gaining unauthorized access to the network or services. |
*Please note that table above only states the usage of NON-INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
A small business usually only employ the use of a Perimeter Router but may also employ the use of a Firewall integrated in a Perimeter Router which can also be used by medium sized businesses.
A large or huge Corporate will usually make use of either of the two following setups:
Dedicated Perimeter Router and Firewall
Dedicated Perimeter Router, Firewall and Internal Router
