Typical Example Topology

In this chapter, we introduce a typical network topology for the MH-5001. In Figure 2-1, the left half side is a MH-5001 with one
LAN, one DMZ, and one WAN link. We will demonstrate the administration procedure in the later chapters by using the below
Figure 2-1.
The right half side contains another MH-5001 connected with one LAN, one DMZ, and one WAN. You can imagine this is a branch
office of Organization_1. In this architecture, all the users under Organization can access sever reside in the Internet or DMZ region
smoothly. Besides, Organization_1 communicates with Organization_2 with a VPN tunnel established by the two MH-5001
Multi-Homing Security Gateways. The VPN tunnel secures communications between Organizations more safely.
We will focus on how to build up the topology using the MH-5001 as the following Figure 2-1. In order to achieve this purpose, we
need to know all the administration procedure.
Continually, we will introduce all the needed administration procedure in the following section.
1. Chapter 3 Basic Setup
How to configure the WAN/DMZ/LAN port settings.
In this chapter, we will introduce the network topology for use with later chapters.
