When Content Filter | Select Block to block access to any requested web page if the external |
Server Is Unavailable | content filtering database is unavailable. The following are possible causes: |
| There is no response from the external content filtering server within the time |
| period specified in the Content Filter Server Unavailable Timeout field. |
| The ZyWALL is not able to resolve the domain name of the external content |
| filtering database. |
| There is an error response from the external content filtering database. This |
| can be caused by an expired content filtering registration (External content |
| filtering’s license key is invalid”). |
| Select Log to record attempts to access web pages that occur when the |
| external content filtering database is unavailable. |
|
|
Content Filter Server | Specify a number of seconds (1 to 30) for the ZyWALL to wait for a response |
Unavailable Timeout | from the external content filtering server. If there is still no response by the |
| time this period expires, the ZyWALL blocks or allows access to the |
| requested web page based on the setting in the Block When Content Filter |
| Server Is Unavailable field. |
