Guidelines for configuring network interfaces E1 (P1) and E2 (P2)
|
IP address (E1 or E2 interface) |
Required. E1 (P1) is used by default to connect to SQL Server for reporting. If E1 does not have a valid IP address or does not have DNS access, then Forcepoint Email Security cannot resolve the SQL Server hostname and cannot create a connection with SQL Server. Off-box installation of the management console is then blocked. |
| Subnet mask | Required. |
| Default gateway |
Required. The gateway must be in the same subnet as the IP address of the interface (E1 or E2) used for communicating with the Internet (outbound traffic). Ensure that outbound packets can reach the Internet. |
| Primary DNS |
Required. IP address of the domain name system server. |
| Secondary DNS |
Optional. Serves as a backup in case the primary DNS server is unavailable. |
| Tertiary DNS |
Optional. Serves as a backup in case the primary and secondary DNS servers are unavailable. |
