For example, with aliases, you can create an Edge ConfigurationTemplate for e-mail, and define that policy to operate with your e-mail server. Because the e-mail servercan have a different IP address on each Firebox X Edge network, you create an alias on the ManagementServer called MailServer. When you create the Edge Configuration Template for the e-mail server, youuse this alias as the destination. Then you define that alias as either the source or destination, dependingon the direction of the policy. In this example you can configure an incoming SMTP Allow policywith MailServer as the destination.To make the Edge Configuration Template operate correctly on Edge devices that use the policy, youconfigure the MailServer alias in the Network Settings for each Firebox X Edge device.Alias configuration is done in two steps:• Naming aliases on the Management Server• Defining alias IP addresses on the Firebox X EdgeUser Guide 275
