You can specify the addresses where the appliance receives or intercepts traffic on the Inbound
Address Pool. At least one IP address must be present.
These addresses must be unique. They must
not
be referenced in the
Inbound addresses for any other virtual host. However, they are allowed
in the Outbound addresses of any other virtual host.
Benefits of configuring virtual hosts
Using virtual hosts, a single appliance can appear to behave like several appliances. Each virtual
appliance can manage traffic within specified pools of IP addresses, enabling the appliance to provide
scanning services to traffic from many customers.
This enables you to:
Separate each customer's traffic.
Create policies for each customer or host, which simplifies configuration and prevents clashes that
might occur in complex policies.
Provide reports for each customer or host in the appliance's Favorite reports feature (
Reports
|
Scheduled Reports
|
Favorite
, which removes the need for complex filtering.
If any behavior places the appliance on a reputation black list, only a virtual host is affected — not
the whole appliance.
Virtual hosts behave differently depending on whether the virtual host is running in proxy mode which
listens on the
inbound
addresses, while virtual hosts running in transparent mode intercept traffic
going to the IP addresses listed.
If you create outbound IP address pools on both the LAN1 and LAN2
NICs, the virtual host uses the IP addresses from the interface it
connects out from.
