6. Click on the Zone Assignment list box and click on LAN.
7. Click OK. The Address Objects window displays the new portshield3 in the address group
list.
8. Repeat the procedure with the same settings for the following IP addresses:
67.115.118.210, 67.115.118.212 67.115.118.220, and 67.115.118.230. Make sure the
name of the address object for each address is portshield3. When you finish creating these
address objects, you will only see portshield3 displayed in the address group list.
9. Go back to the Add PortShield Interface dialog box and create an interface called
portshield3 with a LAN zone, using a Transparent Mode address assignment type and
select portshield3 from the Transparent Range list of existing address groups.
10. Click on the Switch Port tab and add the ports 2 and 3 to the address object.
11. Click OK. SonicOS displays the group address object portshield3 in the Interfaces list.
12. Note the Network and Netmask fields in the dialog box.
13. In the graphic of the switch, view port numbers 2and 3, and verify that the port is colored
blue.
14. In the switch port list, view the PortShield Interface column for P2 and P3 (ports 2 and 3)
and verify that the interface listed is portshield3.
15. Refine the configuration of the PortShield Interface. For details, refer to the section,
“Refining the PortShield Interface” on page 167.
Mapping Ports from the Switch Ports Window
Another way to create a PortShield interface is to configure the interface in the Interfaces
window and then assign ports to it in the Switch Ports window. Approaching it this way assumes
you created a PortShield interface first and then selected the ports from the device ports
graphic and selected the existing interface. This provides several advantages:
–
Enables you to easily visualize the actual locations of ports.
–
Separating the task of creating the interface, helps you focus more on how you want to
separate the ports into different domains.
