Use the following procedure to confirm the status of the firewall.
1. In the orchestration tree, select the network device of a firewall under the L-Platform.
2. Select the [Resource Details] tab, and click the link of [Preserved resource] of [Network Device] of [Basic Information of Network
Device].
The [Resource Details] tab of the network device is displayed.
3. Confirm the displayed detailed information.
When the target network device is in redundant configuration, confirm both the devices are in active status and standby status.
- When there is a link of [Launch Network Device Web UI] in [Hardware Details]
a. Click the link and start the firewall management screen.
b. Confirm event log, status(interface, system condition and operation status) and whether communication packet can pass
or not from the started management window, and check the error detected by the firewall.
- When there is no link of [Launch Network Device Web UI] in [Hardware Details]
Confirm the following information displayed in the Main Panel.
Basic Information - Device Status
The status of the firewall is displayed.
When the status is something other than "normal", it indicates that an error might have occurred.
Port Information - Link Status
The port status of the firewall is displayed.
When the status is something other than "up" that is not intended by infrastructure administrator, it indicates that a port error
might have occurred.
Additionally, confirm status(system condition and operation status) and whether communication packet can pass or not by
logging the firewall directly, and check the error detected by the firewall.
4. Confirm the status of the firewall.
- When passing of communication packets is rejected by a firewall or an event log is output
The infrastructure administrator must confirm if the following items using auto-configuration are correct.
- Scripts for configurations
- Parameter files
- Configuration files for interfaces
- When it is possible that the hardware has failed, in cases where the firewall device status is "unknown" or the link status is
"down" that is not intended by infrastructure administrator.
The infrastructure administrator must request confirmation the status from the administrator of the network device, in cases
where firewall hardware has not failed. The network device administrator should request a hardware maintenance person to
take corrective action when hardware has failed.
