Under

The P interfaces are used to accept users’ requests (inbound traffic) and
communicate with the Internet (outbound traffic).
To configure the P interfaces:
a.
Select whether
P1 only
or both
P1 and P2
are used.
If you choose P1 only, enter configuration information (IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, DNS IP addresses) under
P1
.
If you choose P1 and P2, enter configuration information under both
P1
and
P2
. Note that default gateway and DNS configuration (under
Shared
Setting
) are shared between both P1 and P2.
b.
Click
Save
in the
Websense Email Security Gateway Interfaces (P1
and P2)
area when you are done.
When only P1 is used, it handles both inbound and outbound traffic.
Alternatively, you could use both P1 and P2 such that P1 handles inbound traffic
and P2 handles outbound traffic.
See the Appliance Manager Help for more information about configuring Email
Security interfaces.
