Multiple Network Interfaces Screen

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint Web Security, v8.5.x
  • Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x

This screen appears if multiple network interface cards (NICs) are detected on this machine.

Select the IP address of the NIC that web protection components should use for communication. This NIC will also be used to send block pages.

Important: The installer cannot determine whether IP addresses are valid. It simply lists the currently configured address of each detected NIC. Be sure to select an IP address that is valid in your network.

You will specify later whether this NIC is also used by Network Agent to monitor Internet traffic and send protocol block messages.

Note: If the selected NIC will be used by Network Agent, it must support promiscuous mode.
