Websense integration with 1921 router

[Ruby Khaira]

I have a Cisco 1921 router with two GE interfaces running IOS c1900-universalk9-mz.SPA.155-3.M.bin.  I also have IP Base and Security packages installed.

According to Websense and Cisco docs, I need to use the following command to specify url filtering:

ip urlfilter server vendor websense <IP Address>

I cannot enter command above, only see options as follows:

Router(config)#ip urlfilter ?
alert
allow-mode
audit-trail

cache

exclusive-domain
max-request
max-resp-pak
source-interface
truncate
<cr>

Any ideas?

Hi Ruby,

The way I read this is that you need to turn on ipurlfilter first

try

conf t

!

ip urlfilter allow-mode on

ip urlfilter server vendor websense <IP Address>

!

Thanks Alex

The command you suggested is already applied however I do not see an option to use this command:

ip urlfilter server vendor websense <IP Address>

I'm afraid the the IOS version I have does not support the above command - but do not know how to confirm this.  The router has IP Base and Security packages - I wonder if I need IP Advanced features.

I found a tool to check IOS features called Cisco Feature Navigator. Based on the results, it looks like the IOS currently on the router should support the Websense feature. Is anyone else able to confirm this?

I am still unable to issue this command:

ip urlfilter server vendor websense <IP Address>

Thanks,

Did you turn on ip inspect first try that , the command maybe available then

ip inspect name test http urlfilter

I already had these commands entered - still no luck:

ip inspect name GLUCK-Websense http urlfilter
ip urlfilter allow-mode on

After much digging, I found that this command has been removed from IOS:

ip urlfilter server vendor

Effective with Cisco IOS Release 15.4(3)M, the ip urlfilter server vendor command is not available in Cisco IOS software.

I will look into downgrading my IOS level.  Thanks everyone for your input.
