3.11.2.1 Deployment

You can set the device's operating mode to route, single-arm, bridge, or bypass on the Deployment Mode panel.

Select an appropriate deployment mode so the device can be smoothly deployed on the network and operate correctly.

Route mode: In this mode, the device functions as a router, the network structure is modified to a large extent, and all device functions can be implemented.

Single-arm mode: The device functions as a proxy server and proxies internal users’ access to the Internet. Most device features can be implemented in this mode, and no changes will be made to the network topology.

Bridge mode: The device is considered a network line with a filtering function. This mode is usually enabled when the original network structure cannot be modified. In bridge mode, the device is smoothly deployed on the network, and most functions of the device can be implemented.

Bypass mode: The device is connected to the mirrored port of the intranet switch or a hub. The device monitors and controls Internet access data on the intranet based on mirrored data without modifying the network environment and causing network interruption. Some device functions cannot be implemented in bypass mode due to poor controllability.

Navigate to Network > Deployment. The Deployment pane is on the right. Click Settings and three deployment modes are displayed: route, bridge, and bypass. Next, select a deployment mode for the device.

Before deploying the device on the network, you are advised to configure information, including the deployment mode, interfaces, routes, and device users. The default IP addresses of the interfaces of the device are listed in the table below.
