IMSVA supports multiple network interfaces. This means one IMSVA device may have multiple IP addresses. This introduces challenges when devices try to communicate using a unique IP address. IMSVA incorporates the use of an Internal Communication Port to overcome this challenge.
  • Users must specify one network interface card (NIC) as an Internal Communication Port to identify the IMSVA device during installation.
  • After installation, users can change the Internal Communication Port on the IMSVA management console through the Configuration Wizard or the command line interface (CLI).
  • In a group scenario, parent devices and child devices must use their Internal Communication Port to communicate with each other. When registering a child device to parent device, the user must specify the IP address of the parent device’s Internal Communication Port.

    Trend Micro recommends configuring a host route entry on each IMSVA device of the group to ensure that parent-child communication uses the Internal Communication Port.
  • IMSVA devices use the Internal Communication Port’s IP address to register to Control Manager servers. When users want to configure IMSVA devices from the Control Manager management console, the management console service on the Internal Communication Port needs to be enabled. By default, the management console service is enabled on all ports.
