• Security level: A general setting that blocks or allows all inbound and/or all
outbound traffic on the client computer
• Firewall features: Specify whether to enable or disable the OfficeScan firewall, the
Intrusion Detection System (IDS), and the firewall violation notification message.
See Intrusion Detection System on page 11-4 for more information on IDS.
• Certified Safe Software List: Specify whether to allow certified safe applications
to connect to the network. See Certified Safe Software List on page 11-3 for more
information on Certified Safe Software List.
• Policy exception list: A list of configurable exceptions that block or allow various
types of network traffic
To add a policy:
PATH: NETWORKED COMPUTERS > FIREWALL > POLICIES
1. To add a new policy, click Add. If a new policy you want to create has similar
settings with an existing policy, select the existing policy and click Copy.
2. Type a name for the policy.
3. Select a security level. The selected security level will not apply to traffic that meet
the firewall policy exception criteria.
4. Select the firewall features to use for the policy.
• The firewall violation notification message displays when the firewall blocks an
outgoing packet. To modify the message, see To modify the content of the notification
message: on page 11-26.
• Enabling all the firewall features grants the client users the privileges to
enable/disable the features and modify firewall settings in the client console.
WARNING! You cannot use the OfficeScan server web console to override
client console settings that the user configures.
