A burb is a type enforced network area used to isolate network interfaces from
each other. The burbs in your Sidewinder G2 are initially defined during the
installation process. Using the Admin Console you can create new, modify, and
delete burbs.
To modify your burb configuration, start the Admin Console and select Firewall
Administration > Burb Configuration. The following window appears.
This window allows you to add, modify, or delete burbs within your current
configuration. Follow the steps below.
Note: You can configure a maximum of 64 burbs on a Sidewinder G2.
1 Do one of the following:
• To create a new burb, click New. In the Create New Burb window, enter
a name for the new burb. Click OK to return to the Burb Configuration
window and configure the burb.
Caution: Do not use “Firewall” or “firewall” as a burb name, as this name is
already used elsewhere in the Sidewinder G2.
• To modify a burb, highlight the burb in the Burbs list. The settings for
that burb will appear in the right portion of the window.
• To delete a burb, highlight the burb in the Burbs list and click Delete.
You cannot delete a burb that is currently referenced elsewhere on the
system (for example, a rule or interface configuration). To determine
whether a burb is currently being referenced, highlight the burb and click
Usage.
• To view all areas where a burb is currently being used, highlight the burb
in the Burbs list and click Usage. The Burb Usage window appears
listing every area in which the burb is currently used. When you are
finished viewing the information, click Close to return to the Burb
Configuration window.
