Tap Interfaces
Tap interfaces are used to copy the input and output packets from a
physical interface prior to the processing by the firewall acceleration
process. These taps can be used by intrusion detection software to sniff the
interface. Tap interfaces can be given any device name of up to 15
characters, and a single tap can capture the traffic for multiple physical
interfaces. To configure Tap Interfaces:
1. Select Option 7 from the main menu.
