## Setting The Firewall Address <a href="#setting-the-firewall-address" id="setting-the-firewall-address"></a>

Once a [Firewall Consumer](https://docs.ironblocks.com/firewall/glossary#firewall-consumer) is deployed, you need to tell it what Firewall to use - i.e. give it the address of a Firewall so that it can start consuming its security services. Initially, every [Firewall Consumer](https://docs.ironblocks.com/firewall/glossary#firewall-consumer) has it's `_firewall` data set to the zero address `0x0`.

1. To set the Firewall address, call the [setFirewall()](https://docs.ironblocks.com/firewall/smart-contracts/firewallconsumer.sol#setfirewall) method
