About deployment
Both software and appliance nodes can be deployed singly or clustered:
■
Single-node deployment
: A peer relationship between one or more
individual single nodes, viewed from one or more independent Network
Security consoles.
■
Cluster deployment
: A hierarchical relationship between one master node
and up to 120 slave nodes that synchronize to the master node.
Both software and appliance nodes can be deployed using passive mode; only
7100 Series appliances can be deployed using in-line mode:
■
In-line deployment
: Only the Symantec Network Security 7100 Series
appliance can be deployed in-line at this time. In-line mode enables multiple
features such as the ability to block specified traffic from entering the
network.
■
Passive deployment
: Both software and appliance nodes can be deployed in
passive mode, and positioned near the network, where they do not impede
network performance as a point of failure. No service is ever lost, even if the
node fails. The possibility of failure can be mitigated by failover groups that
maintain the availability of all nodes.
