Overview of System features Virtual Hosting 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. Table 247 Option definitions Option Enable virtual hosting on this appliance Definition Click to allow your appliance to have virtual hosting configured. Name Displays the name of the virtual host.
