I'm trying to open web traffic to: upgrade.bitdefender.com on an FMC. I made a change to the access control rules as indicated in the attached pic, but it's had no effect. Is the correct policy to modify?
Is this for actual web traffic? Like users trying to browse to that URL? I ask this because the URL object that you have defined is for web browsing sessions. If you want to open your policy for other (Non web-based sessions) to upgrade.bitdefender.com without using an IP/subnet, you will need to utilize the FQDN-based objects that were introduced in version 6.4.0.
So just to make sure we're on the same page...if we're trying to open the traffic via the application rather than a browser then we would use FQDN-based objects to implement it. Is that right?
You will have to upgrade your FMC and managed sensors/firewalls to 6.4.0.x in order to get support for FQDN objects. In fact, 6.4.0.4 is the current recommended/Gold starred release.
