Chapter 31 Content Filter Screens

31.1.3 Content Filter Configuration Guidelines

You must configure an address object, a schedule object and a filter profile before you can set up a content filter policy. When the ZyWALL receives an HTTP request, the content filter searches for a policy that matches the source address and time (schedule). The content filter checks the policies in order (based on the policy numbers). When a matching policy is found, the content filter allows or blocks the request depending on the settings of the filter profile specified by the policy. Some requests may not match any policy. The ZyWALL allows the request if the default policy is not set to block. The ZyWALL blocks the request if the default policy is set to block.
