Configuring a Cisco security appliance

After Websense Web Filter or Web Security is installed, the Cisco security appliance, PIX firewall, or Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) must be configured to work with Websense software. The Cisco firewall passes each Internet request to Filtering Service, which analyzes the request and determines whether to block or permit access, or limit access by using quotas set in Websense policies.

See the TRITON - Web Security Help for information about implementing filtering policies.

See the following for information about configuring Websense integration with Cisco PIX Firewall or Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) through a console or Telnet session:

Cisco integration command conventions

Cisco integration configuration procedure

User-based filtering for Cisco integration

Upgrading Cisco PIX Firewall software to version 7.0 may stop Web filtering

For information on configuring your security appliance through the management interface, see the documentation for your Cisco product, available at www.cisco.com.

 

Note  In this topic, the term security appliance is used to refer to both Cisco PIX Firewall and ASA collectively.
