Traffic Interface Features
In IDP deployments, pairs of traffic interfaces are implemented as virtual routers.
For example, interface ports eth2 and eth3 form a virtual router vr1. For each virtual
router, you use the Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) to configure the
deployment mode (sniffer or transparent) and bypass options (internal, external, or
off). The following topics describe these settings:
■ Deployment Mode on page 10
■ Internal Bypass on page 10
■ NICs Off on page 11
■ External Bypass on page 12
For guidance on using ACM to configure virtual router settings, see the ACM online
help.
