About 7100 Series interfaces Each Symantec Network Security 7100 Series interface is a point of contact between the 7100 Series node and a network device. The node accesses traffic on the network device via the interface. There are three interface types available on a 7100 Series node: ■ Monitoring interface ■ Interface group A single interface that monitors network traffic copied to it from a network device. Also known as a passive mode interface. Monitoring interface objects are added by default when a node object is added, and should be edited. Two to four passive mode interfaces sharing a single sensor. Used in an asymmetrically routed environment.
