About the WebShield e500 Appliance
The WebShield e500 Appliance (Figure 1-1) is a purpose-built anti-virus and
content-scanning server containing powerful WebShield software. It is fully
configurable through a web browser, and it can be used in almost any network
topology. It provides virus scanning for the following protocols:
• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail messages
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP) exchanges
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) web browsing
• Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) Internet e-mail messages
Installation Guide — English
Figure 1-1. WebShield e500 Appliance
With additional features such as content scanning, anti-relay and anti-spam,
the appliance provides complete protection for your Internet gateway,
preventing undesirable material entering and leaving your organization.
The WebShield e500 Appliance shares its resources between the protocols that
it scans, checking inbound and outbound traffic as required. It can detect,
clean, log, and quarantine infected e-mail items, including compressed files
and macros, preventing them from reaching their intended recipients. It can
also block infected HTTP, FTP and POP3 items.
Using the appliance to perform your anti-virus scanning allows your mail
server to remain dedicated to mail activities. You can also use multiple
WebShield e500 Appliances together to increase scanning throughput and
provide fault tolerance.
For details of the different ways to use the appliance and some example
topologies, refer to Chapter 1 of the Product Guide.

Installation Guide — English
Features
Transparency — a new feature for version 2.5
If you have used a previous version of the WebShield appliance, be aware that
a new feature for version 2.5 is the addition of transparency. This means that
you can now use the appliance in either proxy mode or transparency mode:
• Proxy mode (explicit proxy) is suitable for networks where you can easily
configure your equipment to route its protocol traffic through the
appliance. Before transparency was introduced, the appliance only
operated in proxy mode.
In proxy mode, the appliance only handles traffic for the protocols that it
proxies.
• Transparency mode (transparent proxy) allows you to slot the appliance
into networks where it is difficult or time-consuming to reconfigure your
other equipment. The appliance then sits transparently on the network
using static and dynamic routing information to receive and pass on the
traffic that it scans.
NOTE: In transparency mode, the appliance must be connected to
two different subnets (through its LAN1 and LAN2 ports).
The appliance handles all IP traffic flowing between the two subnets.
For more details about these modes, see the “Proxy or transparency?” section
in the Product Guide.
IMPORTANT: Both modes are different so it is important that you
understand and decide which mode you want to use before you install
and configure the appliance.
For details on configuring the appliance with a configuration file taken from
an earlier version of the appliance, see “Restoring your settings” on page 56.
Some of the appliance’s other features are summarized in the remainder of this
section.

Installation Guide — English
I
LAN2 port (NIC 2)
The LAN2 port is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet network port,
and its operation depends on how you are using the appliance:
• Proxy mode— The LAN2 port can only be used for a direct local
management connection. It cannot receive and transmit inbound and
outbound protocol traffic.
You might use this port if you cannot achieve a remote management
connection through the LAN1 port, because of these reasons:
–The LAN1 port’s IP address belongs to a different subnet than your
remote computer.
–You have forgotten the LAN1 port’s IP address that you set, and
have disabled the default IP address of 10.1.1.108 for that port.
• Transparency mode— The LAN2 port is used (in conjunction with the
LAN1 port) to connect the appliance to your existing network. It receives
and transmits the same type of traffic as the LAN1 port.
See Step 4 on page 29 for connection information.
The LAN2 port has a default IP address of 10.1.2.108 (subnet mask
255.255.255.0). When you configure the appliance, you can do the following:
• Add new IP addresses that are valid for your network.
• Modify or disable the default IP address.
• Delete the default IP address so that it cannot be used.
• Disable the port so that it cannot be used.
IMPORTANT: If you are using transparency mode, do not disable the
LAN2 port.
For previous versions of the WebShield appliance, the LAN2 port was
known as the management port, so you might see such references in
existing documentation.
