10.7 Drop In
"Drop-in mode" allows you to split a network into smaller segments without having to divide
the IP network into subnets. Several interfaces can be combined in a drop-in group and as-
signed to a network to do this. All of the interfaces are then configured with the same IP ad-
dress.
Within a segment, network components which are connected to a connection can then be
grouped and, for example, be protected by firewall. Data traffic from network components
between individual segments which are assigned to different ports are then controlled ac-
cording to the configured firewall rules.
