WAN Hardening

In Router or Bridge modeIn-line deployment of an appliance, placing it between an Ethernet LAN switch and a WAN edge router. Use in 2 port or 4 port mode., you can provide security on any WANWide Area Network-side interface by hardening the interface. This means:

For traffic inbound from the WANWide Area Network, the appliance accepts only IPSecInternet Protocol Security Protocol. tunnelEncapsulating one type of network protocol (called the payload protocol) within a different delivery protocol. A logical connection between two devices, in our case, two Silver Peak appliances. packets.
For traffic outbound to the WANWide Area Network, the appliance only allows IPSecInternet Protocol Security Protocol. tunnelEncapsulating one type of network protocol (called the payload protocol) within a different delivery protocol. A logical connection between two devices, in our case, two Silver Peak appliances. packets and management traffic.
