Internet access in transparent mode
Compared with the routing mode, the transparent mode adopts the Layer 2 mode for deploying the
device in the network. That is, the uplink and downlink service interfaces of the device operate in
Layer 2 mode. In this mode, the device is typically deployed on the inner side of enterprise gateway.
The device is not directly connected to the Internet but is capable of monitoring and controlling
network traffic for security purposes. This mode does not require routing or NAT configuration, and
can implement fast device deployment and security service onboarding without changing the
network structure. The configuration procedure is as follows:
