Filtering Scenarios

This collection of filtering scenarios is designed to help you get started filtering the net- work. Each scenario is followed by R3000 setup information. Please consult the “How to” section in the index of the R3000 User Guide for pages containing detailed, step-by-step instructions on configuring and/or using the tools and features in that scenario.

I. Threats/Liabilities

1. Category block

Block categories that threaten your network/organization. In pertinent profiles, block access to the Security category group and other categories containing content that threaten your organization.

To block categories in a profile, go to:

GROUP: Group > IP > member > member profile > Category tab

or GROUP: Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile > Category tab

In the R3000 User Guide index, see:

How to: use library categories in a profile

2.Rule block

Use a rule to block categories that threaten your network/organization. Create a rule that blocks access to the Security category group and other categories con- taining content that threaten your organization, and then apply this rule to pertinent profiles. Or use a defined rule—such as the 8e6 CIPA Compliance rule, if in the edu- cational sector—to block related categories.

To create a rule and block categories in a profile, go to:

GROUP: Group > Global Group > Rules

Group > IP > member > member profile > Category tab

or Group > Global Group > Global Group Profile > Category tab

In the R3000 User Guide index, see:

3.X-Strike on blocked categories

Lock out users from workstations after “X” number of attempts are made to access content that could endanger your network/organization. Enable and configure the X Strikes Blocking feature, specifying categories that threaten your or- ganization. Enable the X Strikes Blocking filter option in applicable profiles. The user receives a block page and is locked out of Internet/Intranet access after the specified number of “strikes” are made to any of these categories.
