Web Security appliance. Enter an IP address that exists on your
management network.
By default, the appliance uses the M1 interface for both management and
proxy (data) traffic (the “Use M1 port for management only” check box is
disabled
).
However, optionally, you can use the M1 interface for only management
traffic by enabling the “Use M1 port for management only” check box. You
might want to do this if your organization uses a separate management
network. This can increase security by ensuring no proxy traffic can reach
the appliance on management interface.
When you use M1 for management traffic only, you must configure at least
one data interface for proxy traffic. Also, you must define different routes for
management and data traffic.
