Configuring Web Content Filtering; Creating A Filter On The Procurve Secure Router - HP 7102dl - ProCurve Secure Router Configuration Manual

Configuring Web Content Filtering

To configure Web content filtering on a ProCurve Secure Router 7000dl, you
must complete these tasks:
Install your Websense solution and configure filtering policies on the
Websense server.
On the ProCurve Secure Router:
• Create a filter.
• Specify the IP address of at least one Websense server to which the
router should forward requests.
• Apply the filter to one or more router interfaces.
• Enable the firewall.
Optionally, you can customize these filtering settings:
the router's behavior when the server is inaccessible (to block all Internet
traffic or allow all Internet traffic)
a list of domain names for which the router can allow or block traffic
without querying the server
the maximum number of outstanding requests to the Websense server
the maximum number of buffered responses from Web servers
This guide instructs you how to configure web content filtering on the
ProCurve Secure Router. For instructions on installing and configuring your
Websense solution refer to http://www.websense.com.

Creating a Filter on the ProCurve Secure Router

To create a filter, enter this command from the ProCurve Secure Router's
global configuration mode context:
Syntax: ip urlfilter <name> http
The ProCurve Secure Router filters HTTP traffic (traffic to port 80). If work-
stations send Web traffic to a non-standard port, the router will not filter it
(although, depending on how you deploy Websense Network Agents, your
Websense solution might).
You can create multiple named filters. Typically, however, you should create
one filter, which you can apply to multiple interfaces. All filtering settings are
created globally and apply to all filters.
