Application Patrol
This chapter describes how to set up application patrol for the ZyWALL.
20.1 Application Patrol Overview
Application patrol provides a convenient way to manage the use of various applications on the network. It manages general protocols (for example, http and ftp) and instant messenger (IM),
Note: The ZyWALL checks firewall rules before application patrol rules for traffic going through the ZyWALL. To use a service, make sure both the firewall and application patrol allow the service’s packets to go through the ZyWALL.
Application patrol examines every TCP and UDP connection passing through the ZyWALL and identifies what application is using the connection. Then, you can specify, by application, whether or not the ZyWALL continues to route the connection.
