I'd just create the dumb hub like any other object, but set the IP address to 127.0.0.1, or maybe the outside (hub side)ip address of your firewall....

I've got a firewall with two inside ports. One goes to a managed switch on the trusted network, the other to a dumb hub which is my DMZ. I'd like to show the dumb hub but because it has no IP address how can I? right now the firewall is a parent to the switch and all systems on the trusted network have the switch as a parent. On the DMZ side though, all systems have the firewall as a parent directly. Could I add a "Fake" host to represent the dumb hub and then set the DMZ systems to use that as a parent? Or would this cause problems? thanks, jeff On Tue, 2003-01-14 at 10:39, Jon Lyons wrote: > > Add them both as "parents router,switch" Make sure router and switch are defined in the hosts.cfg file before your dual homed host. > Tom DE BLENDE <TDEBLEND @GCC.DHL.COM>wrote:A small question on the "parents" host directive.
