b. Use the Interface drop-down menu to select the VLAN used as the communication

medium between the switch managed network and its destination (within the insecure

Inside - The set of switch-managed networks subject to translation. These are the
internal addresses you are trying to prevent from being exposed to the outside world.

Outside - All other addresses. Usually these are valid addresses located on the
Internet. Outside addresses pose no risk if exposed over a publicly accessible
network.

error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the
switch.

e. Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.
