Platform Considerations
For information about modules that support Firewall on ERX-14xx models, ERX-7xx models, and the ERX-310 router:
- See ERX Module Guide, Table 1, Module Combinations for detailed module specifications.
- See ERX Module Guide, Appendix A, Module Protocol Support for information about the modules that support Firewall.
NOTE: The E120 router and the E320 router do not support configuration of Firewall.
Module Requirements
To configure a firewall, you must install a Service Module (SM). For information about installing modules in the ERX router, see the ERX Hardware Guide.
Unlike other line modules, SMs do not pair with corresponding I/O modules that contain ingress and egress ports. Instead, they receive data from and transmit data to other line modules with access to ingress and egress ports on their own associated I/O modules.
For a list of the modules that support firewall, see ERX Module Guide, Appendix A, Module Protocol Support.
