Using Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus with VSX

When you configure Virtual Systems to use the Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus Software Blades, make sure the Software Blade:

• Is enabled and configured on the relevant Virtual Systems and enabled and configured on the VSX Gateway (VS0)

  VS0 handles contract validation for all Virtual Systems.

• Can connect to the internet

  A Virtual System gets updates through the VSX Gateway (VS0). If the VSX Gateway fails, each Virtual System uses its proxy settings to get the update from the internet.

Note - Where applicable, make sure the routing, DNS, and proxy settings for the VSX Gateway (VS0) are configured correctly.

To enable Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus on Virtual Systems:

1. If applicable, configure proxy settings for the VSX Gateway (VS0) or the Virtual Systems or both:
   1. From the Network Object tree, double-click the VSX Gateway (VS0).
   2. From the navigation tree, select Topology > Proxy.
   3. Configure the proxy settings, and click OK.
2. Enable Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus on the VSX Gateway (VS0):
   1. From the Network Object tree, double-click the Virtual System.
   2. In the Network Security section, select Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus.
   3. Click OK.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for all Virtual Systems that use Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus.
4. Configure the Threat Prevention Policies for the VSX Gateway (VS0) and the relevant Virtual Systems.
5. Install the Threat Prevention Policies (and Access Control Policies if needed) on the VSX Gateway (VS0) the relevant Virtual Systems.
