How to deploy CR as single arm proxy Deployment 3

To deploy the CR as single arm proxy it pretty straight forward.

When to deploy CR in Single arm proxy:
1> Customer is really not ready to make any changes in the network
2> Customer wants to replace existing proxy
3> Customer has to use the CR IP as the direct proxy in their users browser.

Scenario:
(Scenario may vary but this would be a simple scenario)

Router-->FW(192.168.1.1)--->switch--->users
                                            |  
                                         CR(Port A-192.168.1.xxx)(Port B-Dummy IP address)(CR GW any dummy)

Deployment Mode of Cyberoam: Gateway


Steps:

1> deploy the Cyberoam in gateway mode with any dummy WAN IP address(Port B)
2> You need to connect the LAN interface (port A) to the switch so choose an IP within lan range or use existing proxy ip address once you replace it
3> Most important is in creating the static route from the GUI (Network -->static routes)
       destination network : 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0   gateway   FW lan Ip address

The route is most import:
1> the traffic from the browser will be received by the Cyberoam on port A.
2> Because of the static route it wil be retuned to the FW gateway once it does all the scanning and other stuff.
