Use the Interface List area to view and manage network security interfaces.
Navigating in the IPS Local Management Interface: Manage System Settings > Network > Security Interfaces
Navigating in SiteProtector™ Management: select the Security Interfaces policy
Option | Description |
---|---|
Mode (Non HA) | Sets the monitoring or protection mode for the appliance.
|
Report link status | Determines whether to include the status of the port link
in the overall health status of the agent. If the appliance loses connectivity to one or more security ports, an error message is displayed by default in the IPS Local Management Interface at Appliance Dashboard > Network Health or in the SiteProtector Console at Agent view > Health Summary. (To change the error message that is displayed, see the notification options for the sm.linklost.sev tuning parameter at More tuning parameters.) Note: Disabling this option
(to not report link status) prevents ports that are not used or that
are not physically cabled from incorrectly reporting lost connection
or lost link error messages to SiteProtector. No notification messages
about port disconnection to the security interfaces are reported in
the IPS Local Management Interface at Appliance Dashboard > Network
Health or in the SiteProtector Console at Agent view > Health Summary.
|
Port ID | Assigns a meaningful name to either port ends of the network
segment. This setting is repeated so you can pair ports together that
define specific network segments. Example: Port
A through port B is the Finance Department Network Segment.
|
TCP Resets | Specifies whether the appliance sends TCP resets through this port or through the external TCP reset port. |
Port Speed/Duplex Settings | Sets the link speed and mode for the network adapter.
|
Unanalyzed Policy | Controls how the appliance processes traffic when the network
is congested.
|
Propagate Link | Use this setting when the mode is set to either inline protection
or inline simulation.
