SnoopWall NetSHIELD supports multiple NICs for the purposes of both auditing and network
access control. The NICs can be configured for completely separate VLANs or subnets,
allowing NetSHIELD to monitor physically disconnected segments.
Most NetSHIELD operations will choose the appropriate NIC for the operation in the
background.
There are some areas where a NIC must be specified.
Important Note: While NetSHIELD supports multiple NICs, these NICs cannot be
configured to reside on the same subnet or VLAN.

Configuring NICs


Select Network Configuration

Select the appropriate NIC by selecting the interface from the pull-down menu.

Enter the configuration information for the NIC and click Save. Ensure that the IP ranges
you enter do not intersect.
