TF OVERVIEW
The Transparent Firewall (Forwarding) feature allows the users to "drop" the 
OmniAccess 5740 USG in their existing network without changing configuration of 
their network-connected devices. Thus, users can allow selected devices from a 
subnet to traverse the firewall while access to other devices on the same subnet is 
denied.

egress path on an interface.

TF'ed interfaces.

bridged across the TF'ed interfaces.
