Using Application & URL Filtering with VSX

When you configure Virtual Systems to use the Application Control and URL Filtering, make sure that the VSX Gateway (VS0) can connect to the Internet. Updates are done only through this Virtual System.

To enable Application & URL Filtering Categories on Virtual Systems:

1. If applicable, configure proxy settings for the VSX Gateway (VS0):
   1. In SmartConsole, from the Gateways & Servers view, double-click the VSX Gateway (VS0).
   2. From the navigation tree, select Network Management > Proxy.
   3. Configure the proxy settings, and click OK.
2. Enable Application Control and URL Filtering on the required Virtual Systems.

   Note - You do not have to enable them on the VSX Gateway (VS0).

3. Install policies on the relevant Virtual Systems.

For more about Application & URL Filtering, see the R80.30SP Security Management Administration Guide.

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. Select the Threat Prevention and configure the policies.
5. Install the Threat Prevention Policy (and Access Control Policy if needed) on the VSX Gateway (VS0) and the relevant Virtual Systems.

For more about Anti-Bot and Anti-Virus, see the R80.20 Threat Prevention Administration Guide.
