IRONPORT ASYNCOS 6.3 FOR WEB USER GUIDE
Choose whether or not to use HTTP or HTTPS to administer AsyncOS through the web
interface. You must specify the port to access AsyncOS with each protocol you configure.
You can also choose to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. When you do this, AsyncOS
automatically enables both HTTP and HTTPS.
5. Choose the type of wired connections plugged into the “T” network interfaces:
• Duplex TAP. Choose Duplex TAP when the T1 port receives both incoming and
outgoing traffic. You can use half- or full-duplex Ethernet connections.
• Simplex TAP. Choose Simplex TAP when you connect the T1 port to the internal
network (traffic flows from the clients to the Internet) and you connect the T2 port to
the external network (traffic flows from the Internet to the clients).
Note — IronPort recommends using simplex when possible because it can increase
performance and security.
