Option | Description |
---|---|
Mode (Non HA) | Sets
the monitoring or protection mode for the appliance:
|
Report link status | Determines whether
to include the status of the port link
in the overall health status of the agent. If the appliance loses connectivity to one or more security ports, an error message is displayed by default in the Network IPS Local Management Interface at Appliance Dashboard > Network Health or in the SiteProtector system at Agent view > Health Summary. (To change the error message that is displayed, see the notification options for the sm.linklost.sev tuning parameter at More tuning parameters.) Note: Disabling this option (to not
report link status) prevents ports that are not used or that are not
physically cabled from incorrectly reporting lost connection or lost
link error messages to the SiteProtector system.
No notification messages about port disconnection to the security
interfaces are reported in the Network IPS Local Management Interface
at Appliance Dashboard > Network
Health or in the SiteProtector system at Agent view > Health Summary.
|
Port ID | Assigns a meaningful
name to either port ends of the network

A through port B is the Finance Department Network Segment.

TCP Resets | Specifies whether the appliance sends TCP resets through this port or through the external TCP reset port. |
Port Speed/Duplex Settings | Sets the link
speed and mode for the network adapter:
