Hirschmann EAGLE40 Firewall Setup

I’ve installed a Hirschmann EAGLE40 industrial firewall and now need a specialist to walk it from factory defaults to a production-ready state. The hardware is racked, powered, and reachable through both the web interface and SSH; what’s missing is a solid rule-set, proper interfaces, and clean logging so the device actually protects the plant network rather than just sitting in the traffic path.

Here’s what I expect:

• You review the current blank configuration, discuss my network layout, and translate that into interface zones, NAT (if required), and a concise set of access rules.
• You advise on best-practice hardening for an EAGLE40—admin account lockdown, firmware verification, logging to our Syslog server, and fail-safe settings.
• You load the configuration, test connectivity from both sides, and leave me with a backup file plus a short hand-over note that explains how to adapt or expand the rules later.

I can provide a remote session to the management port and packet captures from upstream switches. All changes must be documented directly inside the EAGLE40 comment fields so future audits are painless.

If you have hands-on experience with Hirschmann firewalls or similar industrial security appliances, let’s get this box doing its job.
