Network interface configuration overview
The network interface configuration process depends on the Forcepoint NGFW role.
The interface configuration proceeds as follows:
- Define the interfaces and IP addresses according to the engine role.
- Configure additional related settings depending on the features you want to use.
Engine Editor > Interfaces
Use this branch to configure the necessary interfaces and IP addresses for the NGFW Engine.

Add | Adds an interface or IP address of the specified type:
CAUTION: Physical Interfaces for Virtual NGFW Engines are automatically created based on the interface
configuration in the Master NGFW Engine properties. The number of Physical Interfaces depends on the number of interfaces
allocated to the Virtual NGFW Engine in the Master NGFW Engine. Physical
Interfaces that you add to Virtual NGFW Engines might not be valid.
