Filtering Rules

28
C 1: F
HAPTER ILTERING
• filter - if a service port is given a filter setting, that port will
use filter settings created for library categories (block or
open settings) to determine whether users should be
denied or allowed access to that port
• ignore - if the filter segment detected on the network has
a service port set up to be ignored, that service port will
be bypassed

Filtering Levels Applied

1. The global (default) filtering profile applies to any user
who does not belong to a master IP group.
2. If the minimum filtering level is defined, it applies to all
master IP groups and members assigned filtering
profiles. The minimum filtering level combines with the
user's profile to guarantee that categories blocked in the
minimum filtering level are blocked in the user's profile.
3. For master IP group members:
a. A master IP group filtering profile takes precedence
over the global profile.
b. A master IP group time profile takes precedence over
the master IP group profile.
4. For IP sub-group members:
a. An IP sub-group filtering profile takes precedence over
the master IP group's time profile.
b. An IP sub-group time profile takes precedence over
the IP sub-group profile.
5. For individual IP members:
a. An individual IP member filtering profile takes prece-
dence over the IP sub-group's time profile.
