Profiles

FireBrick profiles are a very powerful feature. Most settings on the FireBrick have a profile, which is by default 24/7 (always active). There are standard profiles for 24/7, 9-5M-F and 2amSun. Additional profiles can be based on time, or pinging an address, or manually switch on the main dragon page along with quick filters.


Name
 Allows you to name the profile. It will then appear against most other items with that name and with Not that name.
Security
 Defines the security level controlling which users can view or edit this profile.
Profile
 Allows this profile to depend on another profile, either AND or OR another [not] profile. If unsure, leave as AND 24/7
Mode
 The profile can be time based, or manually controlled, ping based or checking tunnel state.
Alert LED
 This allows the RED alert LED on the front of the FireBrick to be affected by the profile automatically.
Re-route
 If this is set and a profile changes, traffic is re-evaluated for possible re-routing if routing rules are based on this profile.
Ping address
 If a ping profile, this is the address to ping
Ping TTL
 This allows the time to live to be set on the pings.
Optional Interface
 Allows you to specify an interface or interface and subnet via which pings are to be sent, otherwise normal routing rules apply. This is also used for tunnel state mode to specify the tunnel.
Optional Source IP
 Allows you to specify the source IP for the ping. This is normally set automatically, and setting a subnet/interface (above) will set for that subnet specifically
Optional Gateway IP
 Allows you to specify the gateway IP for the ping. This is normally set automatically, and setting a subnet/interface (above) will the DHCP gateway for that subnet
24/7
 Ticking this causes all hours of all days to be set on
As above
 This allows one day to be set the same as the previous
9 to 5
 This forces a day to be set for 9am to 5pm
Clr/24
 The clr option causes the whole day to be cleared, and the 24 option causes the whole day to be set on
Hours
 Each hour can be set on or off specifically. This affects timed profiles, and also when pinging is done.

The profile types are:-
Timed
 The profile is based on the time of day and day of week - you can select on an hour by hour basis. If the clock is not set then the state (active/inactive) of the profile does not change.
Enabled
 The profile is permanently enabled, the time settings are not relevant. During the selected times, the profile appears as a check box on the login screen allowing to to be changed to disabled.
Disabled
 The profile is permanently disabled, the time settings are not relevant. During the selected times, the profile appears as a check box on the login screen allowing it to be changed to enabled.
Ping
 The profile is based on pinging an IP address which can be via a specific interface and gateway and also from as specific source addree. Pings are done during the enabled times.
Tunnel state
 The profile reflects the state of the tunnel specified in the optional intergace. A specific tunnel must be selected.
