Q&A on IAM implementation options

Newbie580768 Lv1Posted Aug-08-2025 16:05

Hello everyone and Sangfor admin

I am a new engineer in contact with Sangfor, I have a request to deploy a project as follows: This is a branch project, and the head office requires to deploy all the devices without any technical requirements. (which makes me very confused). The deployed devices include: 1 FW NSF-3400A-I, 1 IAM M5200-AC-I.

According to my research, there are 4 IAM deployment modes:

- Route Mode
- Bridge Mode
- Bypass Mode
- Single Arm Mode

So I want to ask what can I do with this device? Which model is suitable and popular in practice? I am aiming for Bridge mode because Routing, NAT, Policy have been done in Firewall NSF. Finally, if deployed in bridge mode, am I afraid that later the head office will require other functions such as: Authentication, Proxy,... then I will have to change the deployment model to another mode? Or in other words, what can IAM do in Bridge mode? Can it do features such as authentication or proxy?
I hope everyone can help, thank you very much!
