Testing the OfficeScan Firewall
11-30
To ensure that the OfficeScan firewall works properly, perform a test on a client or
group of clients.
WARNING! Test OfficeScan client program settings in a controlled environment only.
Do not perform tests on client computers connected to the network or to
the Internet. Doing so may expose client computers to viruses, hacker
attacks, and other risks.
To test the firewall:
1. Create and save a test policy. Configure the settings to block the types of traffic you
want to test. For example, to prevent the client from accessing the Internet, do the
following:
a. Set the security level to Low (allow all inbound/outbound traffic).
b. Select Enable firewall and Notify users when a firewall violation occurs.
c. Create an exception that blocks HTTP (or HTTPS) traffic.
2. Create and save a test profile, selecting the clients to which you will test firewall
features. Associate the test policy with the test profile.
3. Click Assign Profile to Clients.
4. Verify the deployment.
a. Click Networked Computers > Client Management.
b. Select the domain to which a client belongs.
c. Select Firewall view from the client tree view.
d. Check if there is a green check mark under the Firewall column of the client
tree. If you enabled the Intrusion Detection System for that client, check that a
green check mark also exists under the IDS column.
e. Verify that the client applied the correct firewall policy. The policy appears
under the Firewall Policy column in the client tree.
