14.5 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG- 417N features described in this chapter.

14.5.1 Customizing Keyword Blocking URL Checking

You can use commands to set how much of a website’s URL the content filter is to check for keyword blocking. See the appendices for information on how to access and use the command interpreter.

Domain Name or IP Address URL Checking

By default, the NBG-417N checks the URL’s domain name or IP address when performing keyword blocking.

This means that the NBG-417N checks the characters that come before the first slash in the URL.
