Introduction to the Network Interfaces Wizard
The options you see in the Network Interfaces Wizard depend on the operating mode. On the first
page of the wizard, you can choose to change the operating mode for the appliance.
In
Transparent Router
or
Transparent Bridge
mode, other network devices, such as mail servers,
are unaware that the appliance has intercepted and scanned the email before forwarding it. The
appliance's operation is transparent to the devices.
In
Explicit Proxy
mode, some network devices send traffic to the appliances. The appliance then
works as a
proxy
, processing traffic on behalf of the devices.
If the appliance is operating in Transparent Bridge mode, and the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is
running on your network, make sure that the appliance is configured according to STP rules.
Additionally, you can set up a bypass device in transparent bridge mode.
