This feature allows the NSsp security appliance to launch multiple firewall instances, each serving as an independent firewall. The Root Instance (RI) configures and launches each instance. After the instances are up and running, their X0...X7 interfaces allow access for detailed network configuration.

Navigate to DEVICE | Multi-Instance to find configuration and monitoring screens.

Navigating to Multi-Instance Options

Each instances’s X0, X1, X2... X7 interfaces are mapped to a VLAN on the front panel port (X0 to X25) by the RI. Each instance can be configured with up to eight ports. Each instance port is mapped to a front panel port and tagged with a VLAN ID.
