ProSecure Web/Email Security Threat Management (STM) Appliance

Segmented LAN Deployment

In a segmented LAN deployment, one STM appliance is installed in front of each network segment. VLAN traffic can pass through the STM and can be scanned by the STM. This type of deployment splits the network load and protects network segments from malware threats coming in through the gateway or originating from other segments. The following figure shows a typical segmented LAN deployment scenario:

Understanding the Steps for Initial Connection

Generally, five steps are required to complete the basic and security configuration of your

STM:

1.

Connect the STM physically to your network. Connect the cables and restart your

network according to the instructions in the installation guide. See the ProSecure™

Web/Email Security Threat Management Appliance STM150, STM300, or STM600

Installation Guide for complete steps. A PDF of the Installation Guide is on the

NETGEAR ProSecure™ website at

.

2.

Log in to the STM. After logging in, you are ready to set up and configure your STM. See

Logging In to the STM

on page 28.

3.

Use the Setup Wizard to configure basic connections and security. During this phase,

you connect the STM to your network. See

Using the Setup Wizard to Perform the Initial

Configuration
