Recommended position of InterScan Gateway Security
Appliance and other network devices in single- or
multi-segment environments
To minimize issues and speedily complete deployment, deploy the appliance:
• Between a firewall that leads to the public network and a router, switch, or hub
that leads to the protected segment of the local area network.
Connect a router, switch, or hub to the
INT
port, thereby creating a protected
network. Connect the EXT port to a device that leads to the public network or
Internet.
• Before a proxy server leading to the public network.
If deploying in a multi-segment environment, take note of the following
recommendations:
• Connect the default gateway to the EXT port.
• Use the same default gateway setting for both the appliance and the router that
connects the appliance to the segments.
• Using the Web console, add the static routes for each segment to the appliance.
• Disable the proxy settings from the HTTP URL Filtering screen if traffic is not
passing through the appliance.
