14.6 Drop In
Drop In Mode enables you to separate a network into multiple segments without creating
subnets inside the IP network. In order to achive this, multiple interfaces can be collected
into a Drop In Group. All interfaces are then assigned to the same netweork and are con-
figured with a single IP address.
The network components of a segment that are connected to one port can now, e.g., be
protected by a single firewall configuration. Data traffic between network components of
segments connected to different ports are controlled according to the configured firewall
rules.
