IP Interfaces

Note

You cannot change the name or Ethernet port associated with the Management interface on the Security
Management appliance. Further, the Security Management appliance does not support all of the features
discussed below (Virtual Gateways, for example).

The following information is required when you configure an IP interface:

Note

If you have completed the System Setup Wizard as described in

Chapter 2, “Setup, Installation, and

Basic Configuration”

and committed the changes, the Management interface should already be

configured on the appliance.

Table A-2

IP Interface Components

Name

The nickname of the interface.

IP address

IP addresses within the same subnet cannot be configured on separate physical
Ethernet interfaces.

Netmask (or
subnetmask)

You can enter the netmask in standard dotted octet form (for example,
255.255.255.0) or hexadecimal form (for example, 0xffffff00). The default
netmask is 255.255.255.0, a common class C value.

Broadcast address

AsyncOS automatically calculates the default broadcast address from the IP
address and the netmask.

Hostname

The hostname that is related to the interface. This hostname is used to identify the
server during the SMTP conversation. You are responsible for entering a valid
hostname associated with each IP address. The software does not check that DNS
correctly resolves the hostname to the matching IP address, or that reverse DNS
resolves to the given hostname.

Allowed services

FTP, SSH, Telnet, spam quarantine, HTTP, and HTTPS can be enabled or
disabled on the interface. You can configure the port for each service. You can
also specify the HTTP/HTTPS, port, and URL for the spam quarantine.
