Network Setup
44
A network interface is configured by selecting a connection type from the Change Type
pull down menu. The current configuration can be viewed or modified by clicking the Edit
icon. Clicking the Delete icon unconfigures a network interface; you are prompted to
confirm this action.
Multifunction vs. Fixed-function Ports
Some CyberGuard SG appliances have network ports with labels corresponding to the
port’s function, i.e. LAN, DMZ and Internet/WAN. These are said to be fixed-function
ports.
Alternatively, some CyberGuard SG appliances have network ports that are generically
labeled, e.g. port A, port B, port C. These are said to be multifunction ports. This reflects
the ability of these ports to perform many different functions, e.g. port B is not limited to
connecting to the Internet only, it may be configured as a LAN connection.
Note
Before beginning configuration of multifunction ports, you should determine which
function you are assigning to each of the ports.
Proceed to the section pertaining to your CyberGuard SG appliance for information on its
network ports and possible configurations.
SG710, SG710+: Multifunction Switches and Ports
CyberGuard SG rack mount appliances have a fixed-function LAN switch (switch A), and
a multifunction switch (switch B) and two or four multifunction Ethernet ports (C, D, E and
F).
