Configuring physical interfaces for Virtual Engines

Physical interfaces for Virtual Security Engines represent interfaces allocated to the Virtual Security Engine in the Master Security Engine.

When you select the Virtual Resource for the Virtual Security Engine, physical interfaces are automatically created based on the interface configuration in the Master Security Engine properties. The number of physical interfaces depends on the number of interfaces allocated to the Virtual Security Engine in the Master Security Engine. You cannot create new physical interfaces for Virtual Engines. You can optionally change the automatically created physical interfaces. For detailed instructions, see the Forcepoint Network Security Platform Product Guide.

You can optionally change the automatically created physical interfaces in the Virtual IPS engine properties. For detailed instructions, see the Forcepoint Network Security Platform Product Guide.

If the configuration of the Master Security Engine allows it, you can add VLANs to physical interfaces on the Virtual Engine. If you do not want to add VLANs, add IP addresses to the physical interfaces.
