Configure Subnets

Configuring subnets helps to reduce or balance the load on your Web Filter server(s), enabling it to work more efficiently. Use the Subnets tab to configure subnets:

Figure 2-1 Subnets tab

The Subnets tab has two sections:

•Subnet Monitoring – These settings help reduce or balance the load on your Web Filter server.

•Ignore Subnets – These settings show the internal subnets that were detected when you ran the Configuration Wizard. These subnets are not monitored.

Subnet Monitoring

The Subnet Monitoring section is used to identify which parts of your network should be monitored or not by each Web Filter server. How you decide on this, depends on whether you have single or multiple Web Filter servers, and how you want to divide the network volume load of traffic between those servers. To configure your subnets on a single Web Filter server:

1Identify the external traffic subnets you do not want to monitor.

2Click the Subnets tab, and click Add.

3Enter the IP address of the subnet in the IP Address text box.

4Enter the subnet mask in the Mask text box.

5Click OK.

6Repeat steps 1 to 5 for other subnets you do not want to monitor.

7Select Do not Monitor traffic to or from these subnets.
