Creating Transparent Mode PortShield Interfaces
You may find it useful to create address objects to bundle addresses into address objects and
reference these objects when creating a PortShield interface. Address objects allow for entities
to be defined one time and to be reused in multiple referential instances throughout SonicOS.
The PortShield interface creation environment provides a convenient way to reference address
objects.
The following example takes a network with a series of addresses in the range 67.115.118.80/
24 and divides it into three PortShield Interfaces, mapping each to the following ports and
address objects:
To create these PortShield interfaces, using the prescribed address objects, perform the
following steps:
1. Log in to the security appliance.
2. Navigate to Network >Interfaces. The Interfaces Settings page displays.
3. Click the Add PortShield Interface button. The management software displays the Add
Port Shield dialog box.
4. Click the Zone list box and click on a zone type option to which you want to map the
interface. For this exercise, click the LAN option. After you select a zone option, the
management software displays a more expanded version of the PortShield Interface
Settings dialog box. Only interfaces assigned to Trusted and Public zones can operate in
Transparent mode.
5. Type a name in the PortShield Interface Name field.
6. Click on the IP Assignment list box and click the Transparent Mode option.
