51 Barracuda NG Network Access Client - Administrator’s Guide
3.3 Adapters
The Adapters tab allows you to view and configure network adapters available on the system. Adapters
may be employed in firewall rules, in order to restrict rule processing to a specific adapter or a set of
adapters only.
The listing is divided into the following columns:
In the Adapter Objects view, several
dynamic adapter objects (flagged with the icon) are
preconfigured.
The following objects (assigned with status
multi) are available:
• Adapter [Dial-up]
This object summarizes all dial-up adapters available on the system (for example, UMTS,
ISDN, and modem cards).
• Adapter [Ethernet]
This object summarizes all Ethernet adapters available on the system (for example, LAN de-
vices).
• Adapter [Wireless]
