Firewalls

Overview

We have 3 firewall servers. At castle, in cabinet 3-8 we have "firewall" (hostname shows up as "newgateway" on shell) and a few U's below it we have "gate" which is a backup firewall. "gate" is always on.

At i2b we have "firewall2" in cab 6. There is no backup firewall there.

switching to backup firewall ("gate") @ castle

To switch to "gate" (in case "firewall" goes down) simply move down the 2 yellow ethernet cables maintaining orientation, to gate (right cable goes to "fxp1" and left cable goes to onboard nic on "gate"):

"em1" (on "firewall") moves to "fxp1" (on "gate") - both ports are on the right
left cable ("firewall") moves to onboard nic ("gate") - both ports are on the left
