Defining Traffic Inspection Interfaces for Sensors
Defining Logical Interfaces
A Logical Interface is used in the IPS policies and the traffic inspection process to represent a
network segment. The StoneGate system contains one default Logical Interface. A Logical
interface can represent any number or combination of interfaces and VLAN interfaces, except
that the same Logical interface cannot be used to represent both capture interfaces and inline
interfaces on the same Sensor. The rules in the ready-made IPS Strict Template and IPS System
Template match all Logical Interfaces.
