Interfaces and Interface Groups | Trend Micro Service Central

Views:

You can use predefined interface objects or interface groups as a source when defining policy rules.

Cloud Edge includes physical interface (including wireless interfaces in Routing Mode), and virtual interfaces such as VLANS and VPNs (L2TP and SSL) in the list of predefined interface objects. Optionally, you can define custom interface groups that contain one or more of the predefined interfaces.

Important:

You can select interface objects as a source when you have selected only a single Cloud Edge 50G2 gateway running Cloud Edge 6.0 or later in the Gateway Devices section.

If you select a standard gateway running Cloud Edge 5.x or earlier or a gateway group containing a standard gateway, Any-to-Any is preselected in the Interface Objects section, and this selection cannot be changed.

Table 1. Types of interfaces supported as Interface Objects
Interface Type	Name	Interface Type	Port Name	Supported
Physical	WAN	Physical	eth0	YES
	LAN1	Physical	eth1	YES
	LAN2	Physical	eth2	YES
	LAN3	Physical	eth3	YES
	MGMT	Physical	eth4	NO
	WLAN0	Wi-Fi	wlan0	Yes in Router Mode
	WLAN1	Wi-Fi	wlan1	Yes in Router Mode
Virtual	$name	L3 VLAN	$name$ID Examples: eth2.$ID eth3.$ID	YES in Router Mode User inputs name. Interface exists when user adds a VLAN; does not exist when user deletes the VLAN.
	L2TP VPN			YES in Router Mode Always exists even if user disables L2TP VPN.
	SSL VPN			YES in Router Mode Always exists even if user disables SSL VPN.
	Site–to–Site VPN			NO

Note:

Interfaces contained within object groups might be deleted if you replace the gateway, do a factory reset, or switch modes between Routing Mode and Bridge Mode.

If some interfaces are deleted by the user, the interfaces will continue to exist in related object groups and related policies in the back end.
Users cannot see the deleted interfaces on the user interface, but they will be deployed to gateways. Gateways will ignore these non-existent interfaces.
When a user edits and saves policy rules or interface groups again from Cloud Edge Cloud Console, the interfaces will disappear in related object groups and related policies in the back end.
