Here, each organization gets a virtual system of its own. These connect to the main routing table
using pairs of loopback interfaces. The routing tables would have the following entries:
Routing Table main
Route #
1
2
3
Routing Table vs1
Route #
1
2
Routing Table vs2

Name
1
main-vs1
2
vs1-main
3
main-vs2
4
vs2-main
For each connection between a pair of virtual systems, a pair of loopback interfaces is required,
one for each system. When traffic is sent through main-vs1, it arrives on vs1-main. When traffic is
sent through vs1-main, it is received on main-vs1. This is exactly the same as with two NetDefend
Firewalls and two interfaces, one on each, with a connection between them.
The Routing Table Membership setting means that if a connection arrives on an interface, it will be
routed according to the routing table that the interface is a member of.
