Note
In the disabled mode, the transparent mode group drops all packets received on or destined to the interfaces in that group. Because transparent mode groups are disabled by default, do not associate interfaces to a transparent mode group that is in use or you will lose connectivity to those interfaces.
If you have more than one transparent mode group on the same platform, the groups must be visible to each other on the routing layer (Layer 3). If you need routing, then at least one interface in each group should have an IP address.
Creating and Deleting Transparent Mode Groups
You create a transparent mode group by first creating the group then adding the interfaces to the group. (See “Adding or Removing Interfaces to or from Transparent Mode Groups.”) By default, a transparent mode group stays disabled unless explicitly enabled. In the disabled mode, the transparent mode group drops all packets received on or destined to the interfaces in that group. (See “Enabling or Disabling a Transparent Mode Group.”)
To create a transparent mode group
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.
3.Click Apply.
4.Click Save to make your changes permanent.
If you make delete a transport mode group or add or remove interfaces, the firewall sometimes does not learn of the changes when you get the topology. If you get the topology and your changes to interfaces are not shown, stop and restart the firewall.
To delete a transparent mode group
1.Click Transparent Mode under Configuration > Interface Configuration in the tree view.
2.Click the Delete radio button associated with the group you would like to delete and click Apply.
3.Click Save to make your changes permanent.
Adding or Removing Interfaces to or from Transparent Mode Groups
If you delete a transport mode group or add or remove interfaces, the firewall sometimes does not learn of the changes when you get the topology. If you get the topology and your changes to interfaces are not shown, you can stop and restart the firewall to view your changes.
