Set Scanning Exclusions for IP Addresses and Ports

After you have specified which IP addresses and ports the UTM scans for malware threats, you can set scanning exclusion rules for certain IP addresses and ports.

To save resources, you can configure scanning exclusions for IP addresses and ports that you know are secure. For example, if your network includes a web server that hosts web pages that are accessible by anyone on the Internet, the files that are hosted by your web server do not need to be scanned. To prevent the UTM from scanning these files, you can configure a scanning exclusion for your web server.

To configure scanning exclusion rules:

1.Select Application Security > Services> Scanning Exclusions. The Scanning Exclusions screen displays. This screen shows the Scanning Exclusions table, which is empty if you have not specified any exclusions. (The following figure shows one exclusion rule in the table as an example.)
