The iBoss Pro Content Filter provides its filtering functionality in two different operating methods. It can act as a router/gateway for the network or be a completely transparent inline device on the network.
iBoss Pro Firewall Mode Deployment - Figure 1
Small Business networks can use the iBoss Pro as a firewall/router for their network. In this mode, the iBoss is the firewall/router and gateway for the network. iBoss Pro units can also have their settings synced using Remote Management.

iBoss Pro Transparent Mode Deployment - Figure 2
In this mode, the iBoss Pro is a transparent device between the existing firewall and switch. It does not do any routing or NAT.

Multiple iBoss Pro Content Filters with External Enterprise Reporter - Figure 3
The iBoss Pro Content Filters can be implemented deeper within the network to filter portions of the network. This clustered method allows for better performance as it offloads the tasks to multiple units. You may have multiple iBoss Pro units with an External Enterprise Reporter.

Multiple iBoss Pro Web Filters with Central Reporter and Remote Management - Figure 5
The iBoss Pro Web Filters can be used at multiple locations and have the reporting at a central location. This allows you to have all franchises or locations report to a corporate headquarters or central location. You can sync the settings between multiple devices using the Remote Management interface.
