Review the Network Deployment and Default Configuration
You can manage the threat defense using the device manager from either the Management 1/1 interface or
the inside interface. The dedicated Management interface is a special interface with its own network settings.
The following figure shows the recommended network deployment. If you connect the outside interface
directly to a cable modem or DSL modem, we recommend that you put the modem into bridge mode so the
threat defense performs all routing and NAT for your inside networks. If you need to configure PPPoE for
the outside interface to connect to your ISP, you can do so after you complete initial setup in device manager.
