Purpose

---|---|
Bridge
|
The Deep Edge unit is invisible
to the network. All of its interfaces are on the same subnet. You
only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make
configuration changes. You would typically use Bridge mode on a
private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. For
details, see Overview of Bridge Mode.
|
Routing
|
The Deep Edge unit is visible to
the network. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each
interface connected to a network must be configured with an IP
address valid for that network. You would typically use Routing mode
when the Deep Edge unit is
deployed as a gateway between private and public networks. For
details, see Overview of Routing Mode.
|
Monitoring
|
Monitoring mode is designed for evaluating Deep Edge on a production
network without blocking any traffic or making Deep Edge a point of failure in
the network flow. In Monitoring mode, Deep Edge only applies policies
to mirrored traffic to produce logs and reports; no blocking actions
are enforced on the traffic. For details, see Overview of Monitoring Mode.
