Configuring interfaces for IPS engines
The interface configuration for Single IPS engines and IPS Clusters consists of several main steps.
Follow these general steps to configure IPS interfaces:
- Define the required number of Physical Interfaces.
- Add the required number of VLANs.
- Add IP addresses or a traffic inspection role to the interface.
- IP addresses are required for interfaces that are used for system communications.
- Interfaces that have a traffic inspection role work transparently in the network and do not have IP addresses.
- Select the interfaces that are used for system communications.
