Forward Proxy Mode

Requirement	Details
Ethernet cable (1 cable)	eth0 This is the data interface, used for both management and data.
IPv4 address (1 address)	Assigned to the eth0 data interface.

Transparent Bridge Mode

Topology: Transparent Bridge Mode

Requirement

Details

Ethernet cables/fibers (3 cables or 1 cable with 2 fibers)

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4

Data ingress interface — connects to downstream switch (which is connecting to internal network).
eth5

Data egress interface — connects to upstream switch (which is connecting to internal network).

IPv4 address (1 address)

Assigned to the eth0 management interface.

Note

In Transparent Bridge mode, eth4 and eth5 act as layer 2 interfaces and are not assigned IP addresses.

Transparent Bridge Mode With Trunks

Topology: Transparent Bridge Mode With Trunks

Requirement

Details

Ethernet cables/fibers (5 cables or 1 cable with 4 fibers)

eth0

The management interface - connects to management network.
eth4 / eth6

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team0 trunk for data ingress.

Data ingress: team0 connects to LACP aggregated ports on downstream switch1 (which is connecting to internal network).
eth5 / eth7

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team1 trunk for data egress.

Data egress: team1 connects to LACP aggregated ports on upstream switch1 (which is connecting to internal network).

IPv4 addresses (2 addresses)

One assigned to the eth0 management interface.

One assigned to the br0 virtual data interface.

Note

In Transparent Bridge mode with LACP, team0 and team1 act as layer 2 interfaces and are not assigned IP addresses. However, br0 , the virtual data interface is assigned an IPv4 address.

Transparent HA Mode

There are two nodes in Transparent HA mode implementations.

Topology diagram: Topology and Requirements: Transparent HA Mode

Requirement

Details

Ethernet cables/fibers (3 cables or 1 cable with 2 fibers per node)

Node 1 requires the following cabling:

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4

Data ingress interface — connects to downstream switch1.
eth5

Data egress interface — connects to upstream switch1.

Node 2 requires the following cabling:

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4

Data ingress interface — connects to downstream switch2.
eth5

Data egress interface — connects to upstream switch2.

IPv4 addresses (1 address per node)

For each node, assign an IP address to the eth0 management interface.

Note

In Transparent HA mode, eth4 and eth5 act as layer 2 interfaces and are not assigned IP addresses.

Transparent HA Mode With Trunks

There are two nodes in Transparent HA mode implementations.

Topology and Requirements: Transparent HA Mode With Trunks

Requirement

Details

Ethernet cables/fibers (5 cables or 1 cable with 4 fibers per node)

Node 1 requires the following cabling:

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4 / eth6

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team0 trunk for data ingress.

Data ingress: team0 connects to LACP aggregated ports on downstream switch1.
eth5 / eth7

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team1 trunk for data egress.

Data egress: team1 connects to LACP aggregated ports on upstream switch1.

Node 2 requires the following cabling:

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4 / eth6

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team0 trunk for data ingress.

Data ingress: team0 connects to LACP aggregated ports on downstream switch2.
eth5 / eth7

Deep Discovery Web Inspector automatically creates the team1 trunk for data egress.

Data egress: team1 connects to LACP aggregated ports on upstream switch2.

IPv4 addresses (2 IP addresses per node)

For each node, assign an address to the eth0 management interface.

For each node, assign an address to the br0 virtual data interface.

Note

In Transparent HA mode with LACP, team0 and team1 act as layer 2 interfaces and are not assigned IP addresses. However, br0 , the virtual data interface is assigned an IPv4 address on each node.

Multi-Bridge Mode (A Variation of Transparent Bridge Mode)

Multi-Bridge Mode

Requirement

Details

Ethernet cables/fibers (5 cables or 1 cable with 4 fibers)

eth0

The management interface — connects to management network.
eth4 / eth5

Data ingress: eth4 — connects to downstream switch 1.

Data egress: eth5 — connects to upstream switch 1.
eth6 / eth7

Data ingress: eth6 — connects to downstream switch 2.

Data egress: eth7 — connects to upstream switch 2.

Note

You cannot enabled LACP on a Multi-Bridge deployment.

IPv4 address (1 address)

Assigned to the eth0 management interface.

Note

In Multi-Bridge mode, eth4/eth5 and eth6/eth7 act as layer 2 interfaces and are not assigned IP addresses.
