Configuring the Local Network
The Device > Local Network page lets you set and enable the local network connections,
switches, bridge or wireless network (on wireless devices only).
A bridge connects two or more local area networks (LANs). A switch is similar to a bridge but
can perform data transmission between multiple port pairs at the same time.
Note - You can only configure a bridge between two unassigned interfaces.
The Network table shows all available network connections.
The page also lets you:
n
Configure multiple switches (port based VLANs) between the available local LAN
interfaces and wireless networks. You can create tag-based VLANs under separate LAN
ports and DMZ or under a LAN switch. Traffic is not monitored or inspected between the
LAN ports of a switch.
n
Configure multiple bridges between interfaces. Traffic in a bridge is always monitored
and inspected by the appliance.
n
Create and configure tag based VLANs (802.1q) on any of the LAN interfaces or DMZ.
Note - DMZ is not supported in 1530 / 1550 appliances.
n
Create an alias IP. With an alias IP, you can associate more than one IP address to a
network interface. A single network device can have multiple connections to a network.
n
Create and configure VPN tunnels (VTI) which can be used to create routing rules which
determine which traffic is routed through the tunnel and therefore also encrypted (Route
based VPN).
n
Create a BOND (Link Aggregation) between two or more interfaces. This improves
performance and redundancy by increasing the network throughput and bandwidth. The
LAN Bond can be an unassigned network.
n
On wireless devices - Add new wireless networks (Virtual Access Points). This can
also be done through the Device > Wireless page.
There are two radio transmitters: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Each network is configured
separately under a specified transmitter.
You can also use unassigned LAN ports to create an internet connection. In the table, these
ports have the status Assigned to Internet.
