Add IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to Master NGFW Engine interfaces

You can add several IPv4 addresses to each Physical Interface or VLAN Interface that does not have a Virtual Resource associated with it.

For more details about the product and how to configure features, click Help or press F1.

Steps

  1. Right-click a Master NGFW Engine, then select Edit <element type>.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, browse to Interfaces.
  3. Right-click a physical interface or a VLAN interface, then select New > IPv4 Address or New > IPv6 Address.
  4. Click the IPv4 Address or IPv6 Address cell in the table, then enter the IP address for each node.
    Tip: To resolve the IP address from a DNS name, right-click the field, then select Resolve From DNS Name.
  5. (IPv4 addresses only) If necessary, double-click the Contact Address cell in the table, then define the contact address for each node.
    • In the Default field at the top of the dialog box, enter the default contact address. The default contact address is used by default whenever a component that belongs to another Location connects to this interface.
    • If components from some Locations cannot use the default contact address, click Add to define Location-specific contact addresses.
  6. (IPv4 addresses only) Check the automatically filled-in Netmask, and adjust it as necessary.
  7. (IPv6 addresses only) Check the automatically filled-in Prefix Length, and adjust it as necessary.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Click Save.

Next steps

Continue the configuration in one of the following ways:
  • If you are configuring a new Master NGFW Engine, or if you want to change the roles the different interfaces have in the configuration, select system communication roles for Master NGFW Engine interfaces.
  • Otherwise, refresh the policy to transfer the configuration changes.
