Multiple Firewalls

There are several reasons you might want to create more than one firewall configuration. If you use a laptop computer in different locations that have different firewalls, you will want to set up a firewall configuration for each location, so you can switch to the appropriate firewall configuration when you are in each location.

Another reason you might want to set up multiple firewall configurations is that your network could have more than one router connection as a firewall. In this case, you would assign a different firewall configuration to an FTP site depending on which part of the network you are working from.

Furthermore, you might have a number of trusted sites (for example FTP sites owned by your company) for which you would use a different firewall (or no firewall).
