Viewing Service Modules and VLAN Connections Using the Services Topology Map

You can view a graphical display of all service modules and the VLANs that span across them by clicking Services at the top of the window and clicking Flows in the left-most pane. The Flows page displays the Services Topology map (see Figure 7-1).

Figure 7-1 Flows Page


Note When CVDM-C6500 detects a firewall module that supports virtual firewalls (contexts) and you have provided the correct credentials, you will see a Module View tab and a Virtual Firewall View tab. The Services Topology map is displayed in the Module View tab. For more information on the Virtual Firewall View tab, see Viewing and Configuring Virtual Firewalls (Contexts).


From the Services Topology map, you can do the following:

View a graphical representation of all modules and VLANs that span across them:

Service modules are labeled and represented by various icons.

VLANs are labeled and represented by solid lines.

If there are more than five connecting VLANs, they are represented by one thick, solid line. To view the individual VLAN IDs for an aggregate VLAN, place your mouse over the thick line.

Service module icons and VLANs can be moved to get a better view of what is on your device.

Easily identify and fix potential security holes. For example, you might see a VLAN directly connecting an MSFC icon and a CSM icon, thus bypassing a firewall. You can then use one of the service module wizards to fix the security hole. See "Service Module Setup Wizards" for more information on wizards.

View information and perform tasks using one of the following menus:

Service Module Popup Menu—Assigns VLAN or starts the service module's device manager.

VLAN Connection Popup Menu—Edits or deletes the selected VLAN connection.

View detailed information about ports and VLANs belonging to a selected service module. See Viewing All VLANs and Interfaces Assigned to a Service Module for more information.

View all VLAN and interface information about the selected VLAN connection or service module in a tabular format (below the topology map). For a description of the provided information, see the relevant service module section in "Service Module Setup."

Zoom in, zoom out, and print the topology map by clicking on the magnifying glass and print icons.

Viewing and Configuring Virtual Firewalls (Contexts)

You can partition a single firewall module into multiple virtual firewalls, also known as security contexts. Each context is an independent system, with its own configuration and policies. Multiple contexts are equivalent to having multiple standalone firewalls.

When CVDM-C6500 detects a firewall module that supports contexts and you have entered the correct credentials, a Module View tab and a Virtual Firewall View tab are displayed in the Flows page.

The Module View tab serves the same functionality as the Services Topology Map. The difference is its ability to display contexts when a firewall service module icon is selected. For more information on how to navigate the firewall module context selector, see Configuring Firewall Contexts.

The Virtual Firewall View tab lists all contexts within a firewall module and allows you to edit and configure context information. See Viewing Contexts for more information.


Note You cannot create virtual firewalls using the Virtual Firewall View. To create virtual firewalls, see Configuring Firewall Contexts.


Viewing Contexts

Click Services at the top of the window, click Flows from the left-most pane, and then select the Virtual Firewall View tab to display the Virtual Firewall View.

From the Virtual Firewall View you can do the following:

Visually trace VLAN connectivity between contexts and other service modules using the context topology map.

Edit or delete a selected VLAN connection. See VLAN Connection Popup Menu for more information.

View detailed information about contexts and VLANs belonging to a selected service module. See Viewing All Contexts and VLANs Assigned to a Service Module for more information.

View all VLAN and interface information about the selected context, service module, or VLAN connection in a tabular format (below the context topology map). For a description of the provided information, see the relevant service module section in "Service Module Setup."

Edit or add interfaces by clicking a firewall context from the selector or from the context topology map, selecting an interface from the Interfaces table, and clicking Add... or Edit.... For field descriptions, see Configuring Firewall Contexts.

Move service module icons and VLANs to get a better view of what is on your device.


Note VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) icons will also be displayed if any VRFs have been configured on the device.


Zoom in, zoom out, or print the topology map by clicking on the magnifying glass and print icons.

Viewing All Contexts and VLANs Assigned to a Service Module


Step 1 Click Services at the top of the window, click Flows from the left-most pane, and then select the Virtual Firewall View tab.


Note The Virtual Firewall View tab appears only if you have provided the correct credentials and the firewall module supports contexts.

Step 3 Double-click a firewall context or service module icon from the context topology map.

Step 4 You can do the following within this context topology map:

Click an interface cloud icon to view all VLANs associated with a context. The following information is displayed in a table:

Column
Description

Name

Name assigned to the interface.

Admin Status

Administrative state of the interface.

Type

Indicates the interface type.


Click the magnifying glass or print icons to zoom in, zoom out, or print the topology map.

Move service module icons and interface cloud icons to get a better view of VLANs on your device.
