Trend Micro™ InterScan™ Gateway Security Appliance M-Series Deployment Guide
2-16
Basic Deployment
As shown in figure 2-11, Basic deployment scenario - single segment network, on
page 2-16, it is necessary to include a LAN switch, router, or hub after the appliance
in the basic deployment scenario. Including a router or switch after the appliance is
necessary because the appliance itself is not designed to work as a router or switch.
The appliance can be installed on a network that contains Ethernet devices such as
hubs, switches, and routers. Trend Micro recommends deploying the appliance
between a firewall that leads to the public network and a router, switch, or hub that
leads to the protected segment of the Local Area Network (LAN).
A router, switch, or hub is connected to the appliance internal (INT) port, creating a
protected network segment, and the connection to the external (
EXT) port leads to the
public network. You can deploy the appliance on a single segment or multiple
segment network.
Single Segment Deployment
The image below describes just one example of how the appliance can be used to pro-
tect a network consisting of a single segment. For more advanced deployment, see see
Advanced Deployment Options on page 3-1
