28.2 Disable Adapter Bridging Control Settings

This panel lets you prevent a device’s network adapters from being bridged. Bridging, which enables the device to act as a hub for access to multiple network segments, can create a significant breach in your network security.

28.2.1 Adapter Bridging

Select one of the following options:

  • Enable: Enables adapter bridging.

  • Disable: Disables adapter bridging.

  • Inherit: If the policy’s Inherit from Policy Hierarchy setting is enabled, inherit this setting from other Communication Hardware policies assigned higher in the policy hierarchy. For example, if you assign this policy to a user, the setting is inherited from any Communication Hardware policies assigned to the user’s groups, folders, or zone.

28.2.2 Use Disable Adapter Bridging Message

This setting is available only if adapter bridging is disabled.

Select this option to display a message dialog box when adapter bridging is disabled and a user attempts to create a bridge. Use the Title of Message Window, Body, and Message Hyperlink fields to create the message you want displayed.
