PIX 515E --> URL-filtering: Enabled

[qs_cco]

Hello,

when I boot my Cisco PIX 515E, I can see this output:

Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.3(3)

Licensed Features:

Failover: Disabled

VPN-DES: Enabled

VPN-3DES-AES: Disabled

Maximum Physical Interfaces: 3

Maximum Interfaces: 5

Cut-through Proxy: Enabled

Guards: Enabled

URL-filtering: Enabled

Inside Hosts: Unlimited

Throughput: Unlimited

IKE peers: Unlimited

I can understand all but "URL-Filtering: Enabled".

I searched in the documentation, but I can't find an explication: is the PIX able to filter URL requests?

Thank you in advance for the answer.

Paolo

Hi Paolo,

PIX IOS 6.3 supports filtering HTTPS and FTP sites for websense filtering servers, this is enabled by default.
