Before proceeding with the Network VirusWall Enforcer 1200 setup, decide how to integrate the 
device into your network and determine which topology it will support. Position Network 
VirusWall Enforcer 1200 between layer 2 (L2) or layer 3 (L3) devices to scan all packets entering 
and leaving that section of the network. 

Identify segments of your network to protect by considering which kinds of endpoints may 
introduce viruses or violate security policies. Also, consider the location of resources that are 
critical to your organization. Policies are applied based on the trigger criteria that the endpoint 
matches. Once an endpoint matches the trigger criteria of one policy, only that policy is applied 
to the endpoint.
