Media Type Filter<br />

The Media Type Filter section looks like this:<br />

Using this section, you can configure actions, e. g. Block, Block, log and<br />

notify, Allow, etc., for the Media Type Filter.<br />

This filter manages the flow of incoming media types for HTTP and FTP downloads,<br />

as well as for SMTP.<br />

A media (content) type is a general category of data content, such as an application,<br />

audio content, a text message, an image, a video stream, etc. The<br />

media type tells the application that receives the data what kind of application<br />

is needed to process the content, e. g. Real Audio is to play the audio content<br />

for a user. Each of these media types also have subtypes, e. g. the text media<br />

type has four subtypes: plain, rich text, enriched, and tab-separated values.<br />

The actions that you configure here will be executed according to the result<br />

achieved by the Media Type Filter for a filtered object.<br />

You can also configure different actions for Web and e-mail traffic.<br />

After specifying the appropriate settings here, click on Apply Changes to<br />

make them effective.<br />

Use the drop-down lists provided here to configure actions in the following way:<br />

• Default action for unlisted media types<br />

Should this filter find a media type that is not currently listed in the Media<br />

Type White List or Black List, this is what will happen to it.<br />

• Entry found in Media Type Black List<br />

The actions configured here will be executed for media types that are found<br />

intheMediaTypeBlackList.<br />

• Entry found in Media Type White List<br />

The actions configured here will be executed for media types that are found<br />

in the Media Type White List.
