Test Connectivity; Test Http Scanning; Register The Utm With Netgear - NETGEAR UTM9S Reference Manual

Test Connectivity


Verify that network traffic can pass through the UTM:
1. Ping an Internet URL.
2. Ping the IP address of a device on either side of the UTM.

Test HTTP Scanning

If client computers have direct access to the Internet through your LAN, try to download the
eicar.com test file from http://www.eicar.org/download/eicar.com.
The eicar.com test file is a legitimate denial of service (DoS) attack and is safe to use
because it is not a malware threat and does not include any fragments of malware code. The
test file is provided by EICAR, an organization that unites efforts against computer crime,
fraud, and misuse of computers or networks.

Verify that the UTM scans HTTP traffic correctly:
1. Log in to the UTM web management interface, and then verify that HTTP scanning is
enabled. For information about how to enable HTTP scanning, see
Protocol Scan Settings and Services (Web Applications)
Web Malware Scans
2. Check the downloaded eicar.com test file, and note the attached malware information file.
