Configuring internal subnets as internal network objects

For the Exinda Appliance to determine traffic direction, all internal subnets should be defined as internal network objects. After identifying the subnets as internal network objects, as traffic passes through the appliance, the Exinda Appliance determines packet direction based on the following rules:

Rule Result

Packet's source IPInternet protocol matches an Internal Network Object

AND

Packet's destination IP DOES NOT match an Internal Network Object
