Segmented LAN Deployment
In a segmented LAN deployment, one STM appliance is installed in front of each network
segment. This type of deployment helps split the network load and protects network segments
from malware threats coming in through the gateway or originating from other segments. Figure 2-
3 on page 2-4 shows a typical segmented LAN deployment scenario.

Note: In a segmented LAN deployment, VLAN traffic can pass through the STM and can
be scanned by the STM.
