Network Interface Settings

The Network Interface Settings screen allows you to manage the product’s IP address and network interface ports.

Threat Discovery Appliance requires its own IP address to ensure that the management port can access the product console. If there is a DHCP server on your network and you want it to dynamically assign an IP address to Threat Discovery Appliance, select Dynamic IP address (DHCP). Otherwise, select static IP address.
