Nokia IPSO 4.0 manual Configuring Transparent Mode, 136

2

To configure transparent mode in the preceding network configuration

1.Click Transparent Mode under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.

2.Enter any positive integer (an integer greater than 0) in the edit box, for example 100 and click Apply.

3.Click the link of the transparent mode group you created. It will appear as XMG with the number you entered in step 3, for example XMG 100.

4.In the Add Interface drop-down box, select an interface to associate with the transparent mode group. In this case, select the logical interfaces associated with IP address 1.5.3.3/24 and click Apply.

Note

Because transparent mode groups are disabled by default, do not associate interfaces to a transparent mode group that is in use. If you do, you will lose connectivity to those interfaces.

Note

An interface can be in at most one group. Once you have associated an interface to a group, you will not have the option to associate it with another group.

5.In the Add Interface drop-down box, select the logical interfaces associated with IP address 1.5.3.4/24 and click Apply.

6.Click Up.

7.Select Yes in the Enable column associated with XMG 100 and click Apply.

8.Click Save to make your changes permanent

Note

When you make changes to a transparent mode group, you must stop and restart the firewall.

Once you have enabled transparent mode and restarted your firewall, packets destined for your LAN are sent at Layer 2. Packets destined for an IP address are sent at Layer 3.

Configuring Transparent Mode

You configure transparent mode by first creating a transparent mode group and then adding interfaces to the group. When interfaces are in the same transparent mode group, then they are logically in the same subnet. A transparent mode group is disabled until you enable it.
