Local Management Connection
When using a local management server (Security Management Server or Multi-Domain Security
Management), all management traffic is handled by a dedicated management interface (DMI) that connects
the management server with the VSX gateway. The dedicated management interface IP address can be
either private or public.

Remote Management connection
When using a remote management server (Security Gateway or Multi-Domain Security Management),
management traffic travels via an internal or external network to a VSX gateway to the management
interface. This architecture segregates management traffic from all other traffic passing through the VSX
gateway.
