Add integrated switches for Single Firewalls
An integrated switch represents the switch functionality on purpose-built Forcepoint NGFW appliances. Integrated switches eliminate the need for an external switch device and reduce costs and clutter.
You can configure one integrated switch on a Single Firewall. The switch functionality is only supported on specific Forcepoint NGFW appliances that have an integrated switch.
Note: The ports in the integrated switch do not support VLAN tagging or PPPoE.
You cannot use ports on the integrated switch as the control interface.
