Reference Manual for the ProSafe VPN Firewall 25 with 4 Gigabit LAN and Dual WAN Ports

6-22 Firewall Protection and Content Filtering

202-10085-01, March 2005

Using a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic

If you enabled content filtering in the Block Sites menu, or if you defined an outbound rule to use

a schedule, you can set up a schedule for when blocking occurs or when access is restricted. The

firewall allows you to specify when blocking will be enforced by configuring the Schedule tab

shown below:

Table 6-3. Groups and hosts

Item Description

Known PCs and

Devices

This table lists all current entries in the Network Database. For each PC or device,

the following data is displayed.

• Radio button—Use this to select a PC for editing or deletion.

• Name—The name of the PC or device. Sometimes, this can not be determined,

and will be listed as Unknown. In this case, you can edit the entry to add a

meaningful name.

• IP Address—The current IP address. For DHCP clients, where the IP address is

allocated by the DHCP Server in this device, this IP address will not change. Where

the IP address is set on the PC (as a fixed IP address), you may need to update

this entry manually if the IP address on the PC is changed.

• MAC Address—The MAC address of the PC. The MAC address is a low-level

network identifier which is fixed at manufacture.

• Group—Each PC or device must be in a single group. The Group column indicates

which group each entry is in. By default, all entries are in the Default group (the D

column.)

Operations • Group Assignment —You can select a group for any entry by selecting the desired

group from the drop down menu in the Group column. Click Apply

• Adding a new Entry—If a PC is not connected, using a fixed IP, or a different LAN

segment, it may not be listed. In this case, you can add it by clicking the Add

button.

• Editing an Entry—You can edit an entry by selecting its radio button, and clicking

the Edit button.

• Deleting an Entry—If a PC or device has been removed from your network, you can

delete it from the database by selecting its radio button, and clicking the Delete

button.

• Edit Group Names—The Group names can be edited by clicking Edit Group

Names button. By default the group names are Default, Marketing, Sales,

Warehouse, Support, Lab1, Lab2, and Others.
