Verifying Correct Installation

Test the STM before deploying it in a live production environment. The following instructions
walk you through a couple of quick tests designed to ensure that your STM is functioning
correctly.

Testing Connectivity

Verify that network traffic can pass through the STM:
• Test an Internet URL (see
• Ping the IP address of a device on either side of the STM.

Testing 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 DoS program 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 STM correctly scans HTTP traffic:
1. Log in to the STM Web Management Interface, and then verify that HTTP scanning is
enabled. For information about how to enable HTTP scanning, see
Protocol Scan Settings
2. Check the downloaded eicar.com test file, and note the attached malware information file.
