You can use content profiles to apply different protection settings for content traffic
controlled by firewall policies. You can use content profiles for:
•
Antivirus protection of HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP network traffic
•
Web content filtering for HTTP network traffic
•
Email filtering for IMAP and POP3 network traffic
•
Oversized file and email blocking for HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, and IMAP network
traffic
•
Passing fragmented emails in IMAP, POP3, and SMTP email traffic
Using content profiles you can build up protection configurations that can be easily
applied to different types of Firewall policies. This allows you to customize different
types and different levels of protection for different firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might need strict
protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate protection.
You can configure policies for different traffic services to use the same or different
content profiles.
Content profiles can be added to NAT/Route mode and Transparent mode policies.
Factory default FortiGate configuration settings
Traffic shaping is not selected. The policy does not
apply traffic shaping to the traffic controlled by the
policy. You can select this option to control the
maximum or minimum amount of bandwidth
available to traffic processed by the policy.
Authentication is not selected. Users do not have to
authenticate with the firewall before connecting to
their destination address. You can configure user
groups and select this option to require users to
authenticate with the firewall before they can
connect through the firewall.
Antivirus & Web Filter is selected.
Scan
The scan content profile is selected. The policy
scans all HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP
traffic for viruses. See
page 26
for more information about the scan
content profile. You can select one of the other
content profiles to apply different levels of content
protection to traffic processed by this policy.
Log Traffic is not selected. This policy does not
record messages to the traffic log for the traffic
processed by this policy. You can configure
FortiGate logging and select Log Traffic to record all
connections through the firewall that are accepted
by this policy.
