Setting Scanning Exclusions and Web Access Exceptions

After you have specified which IP addresses and ports the STM will scan for malware, you can set
scanning exclusion rules for certain IP addresses and ports. Similarly, after you have specified
which content the STM will filter, you can set exception rules for users and members of a group.

Setting Scanning Exclusions

To save resources, you can configure scanning exclusions for IP addresses and ports that you know
are secure. For example, if your network includes a Web server that hosts Web pages that are
accessible by anyone on the Internet, the files that are hosted by your Web server do not need to be
scanned. To prevent the STM from scanning these files, you can configure a scanning exclusion
for your Web server.
To configure scanning exclusion rules:
1. Select Global Settings > Scanning Exclusions from the menu. The Scanning Exclusions
screen displays. This screen shows the Scanning Exclusions table, which is empty if you have
not specified any exclusions.
