We
will cover all these items in the following sections.
Networks
This is probably the most user-friendly and useful node in the ISA Server Management
interface. Microsoft has done a good job of taking one of the more complex aspects of
deploying any fi rewall, and simplifi ed it by including network templates for you to
use. If you entered the right information during installation you probably don??™t
need to do any further confi guration here, but if there are changes to the network
topology you can simply select a new network template from the template pane on
the right as shown in Figure 11.9. A wizard will then walk you through applying
the necessary changes.
WARNING
Take caution when applying network topology changes, and thoroughly
review and test the fi rewall afterward. Changing the network topology on
this page can result in changes to the Firewall Policy, and sometimes these
changes are neither expected nor desired.

It is good to see that the fi rst task the wizard allows you to perform is to export
your current confi guration in case you wish to revert back to it. This should be a
mandatory step that cannot be bypassed, but since it is not, I recommend you take
a moment to do this. The confi guration will be saved as an XML fi le wherever the
user chooses.
