I need help with IPCop. [Blue Zone Setup]

[Matthew A Coulliette]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply. By default, the users on the blue network can only
use the internet and nothing else, unless you specifically give them
access. Here are a few things that helped understand the blue zone:

2.6.1.  What traffic is allowed between Interfaces?

2.6.6.  Blue Access Administrative Web Page
 To setup Blue Access do the following:
   1. Use a supported Ethernet card to setup the Blue interface.
   2. Connect an Access Point to that Ethernet card. (Use the LAN
Ethernet port on the AP, if you have a choice of ports).
   3. You can use DHCP to serve dynamic or static addresses on Blue,
although static is preferred for security of MAC addresses. Refer to the
DHCP Server section for more information on configuring static leases.

If you only need to provide access for http traffic on the Blue network
to the Internet (Red network), just add the IP Address or the MAC
Address of the Wireless Router, or the individual wireless connected
devices if you are using an Access Point, via the web page shown below.
You have to enter at least one MAC or one IP Address per device.
Optionally, you can enter both MAC and IP Address for a device.

An Access Point behaves like an Ethernet hub, and IPCop serves out DHCP
leases through it to wireless devices. A Wireless Router does NAT,
serves out DHCP on it's own subnet, and has it's own access controls.
