Management Interface

A VSX deployment can be managed using one of the following interface schemes:

• Dedicated Management Interface (DMI): Uses a separate interface that is restricted to management traffic, such as provisioning, logging and monitoring.
• Non-Dedicated Management Interface: Uses a shared internal or external interface that also carries routine user traffic. This scheme is not supported.

Dedicated Management Interface (DMI)

Check Point recommends that you use a DMI for management to segregate management traffic from routine "production" traffic enhanced performance, especially for end users.
