4. Decoy Server Networking Environment
Decoy Server appliances may connect to multiple networks to deploy different decoy services.
Decoys can operate whether ports are connected to trunk ports enabling to communicate on multiple
subnets from the same port on the appliance, and/or to connect ports directly to specific subnets.
Use the tables below to identify how many and what type of network switch ports you will need for
your deployment.
