Interface Groups - D-Link DFL-1600 User Manual

9.5. Interface Groups

9.5 Interface Groups
Similar to logical object group, multiple interfaces can be grouped together
in the firewall to apply to a common policy. An interface group can consist
of regular Ethernet interfaces, VLAN interfaces, or VPN Tunnels (see 22).
All members of an interface group do not need to be interfaces of the same
type. This means that an interface group can be built from, for instance,
two Ethernet interfaces and four VLAN interfaces.
Example:
This example describes how to configure an interface group object.

Group:
Enter the following:
Name: testifgroup
Security/Transport Equivalent: If enabled, the interface group
can be used as a destination interface in rules where connections might
need to be moved between the interfaces. Examples of such usage can
be Route Fail-Over and OSPF (see 10.3.3) scenarios.
Interfaces: Select the interfaces that should be a part of the group.
Then click OK
Use the Interface Group
An interface group can be used in various object configurations.
For example, IP rules and user authentication rules can use interface
groups.
