Making global protocol changes

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

Use the Filter Components > Edit Protocols > Override Action page to change the way a protocol is filtered in all existing protocol filters. This also determines the default action applied to the protocol in new filters.

Although this change overrides the action applied in all existing protocol filters, administrators can later edit those filters to apply a different action.

Verify that the correct protocol name appears next to Selected Protocol.

Select a new Action (Permit or Block) to apply to this protocol. By default, No change is selected. See Actions for more information.

Specify new Logging options. Protocol traffic must be logged to appear in reports and enable protocol usage alerts.

Specify whether or not Bandwidth Optimizer is used to manage access to this protocol. See Using Bandwidth Optimizer to manage bandwidth for more information.


	Important Changes made here affect every existing protocol filter, except Block All and Permit All.

When you are finished, click OK to return to the Edit Protocols page (see Editing custom protocols). You must also click OK on the Edit Protocols page to cache the changes.
