how to configure Fritzbox - Firebox - Port forwarding to VM behind firebox

fschnitzler

Hello to all,
I hope everybody will be in good mood.
I have following idea:

AVM FritzBox DSL Router to connect to internet

Firebox T40W as firewall

local network

in LAN there will be VM which I will connect to from internet

Now I am struggeling arround to configure all this.

Looking forward for your suggestions....

Thanks a lot

Hi @fschnitzler

Thanks for contacting us.

The arrangement will likely be similar to:

AVM DSL <--> T40-W <--> Internal Switch <--> VM Server

You'll also likely need to configure a virtual switch on your VM server in order to connect the VM to your physical network.

Is there any specific point that you're looking for help on?

Thanks fór your quick reply.
The general idea of structure is clear.
But.... how to configure interfaces inside firebox?
How to configure eth0 (external) and eth1?
thank you very much

Hi @fschnitzler

Each interface can be set up as several interface types. Customers usually configure eth0 as external, and eth1 as trusted.

The help articles here go over how to configure each:
