Configure Gateway AV

1. To connect to the System Status page, type
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
2. From the navigation bar, select Gateway AV/IPS > Settings.
3. Select the Enable Gateway AntiVirus for SMTP check box to scan email sent to an email server
protected by your Edge for viruses.
4. Select the Enable Gateway AntiVirus for POP3 check box to scan email downloaded from the email
server for viruses.
5. Select the Enable Gateway AntiVirus for FTP check box to scan file transfer traffic for viruses.
6. Select the Enable Gateway AntiVirus for HTTP check box to scan HTTP content for viruses.
7. If you enable Gateway AntiVirus for SMTP, use the Virus is detected (SMTP only) drop-down list to
select whether you want the Edge to remove (strip) viruses from email messages when they are found
or to quarantine the email message. You must have a WatchGuard Quarantine Server installed to use
the Quarantine option.
8. There is a very large set of file formats used on the Internet. Use the When an error is encountered
drop-down list to select the action you want Gateway AV to take when it cannot successfully scan a file.
The default action is Remove.
9. Select the Limit Scanning check box if you want the Gateway AV service to stop scanning each file
after it examines the specified number of kilobytes. This improves the performance of the Edge. Most
viruses are small and many are in the first hundred kilobytes of a file. You must select the correct
balance of performance and security for your network.
10. If you have downloaded, installed, and configured a WatchGuard Quarantine Server, type the
IP address of the Quarantine Server computer. For information about how to install a Quarantine
