Chapter 3. Installing Zorp on Ubuntu

This chapter describes how to turn an existing Ubuntu server into a Zorp host.

Before starting the installation, advance planning is necessary for a successful firewall implementation. All the critical network parameters, such as firewall IP addresses, routing topology, DNS hierarchy, and so on must be known in advance.

The following IP addresses are particularly important:

  • IP address of the Zorp host

  • IP address of the ZMS host

  • IP address of ZMC

In addition, you must prepare the following:

  1. Define firewall administration roles with a corresponding password policy.

  2. Define a number of passwords that protect various elements of the system.

  3. Record these passwords (according to the security policy of your organization) and keep them safe for later use.

Note

Zorp must be installed on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
