Network Card Selection Screen

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

This screen appears if Network Agent is selected for installation, even if the machine only has one network interface card (NIC).

Select the NIC that Network Agent should use to communicate with other web protection components, then click Next.

All enabled NICs with an IP address are listed.
On Linux, NICs without an IP address are also listed. Do not choose a NIC without an IP address.
After installation, you can configure Network Agent to use NICs without an IP address to monitor Internet requests. See Network Agent and stealth mode NICs.

Note: For Network Agent to operate, this machine must be connected to a bi-directional span port (or mirror port) on a switch or hub that processes the network traffic to be monitored.

You may select multiple NICs. After installation, use the Web Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager to configure how Network Agent will use each selected NIC (for more information, see the Administrator Help for your web protection solution).
