Creating exceptions to the Blocked Sites list
A blocked site exception is a host that is not added to the
list of automatically blocked sites regardless of whether it
fulfills criteria that would otherwise add it to the list. The
site can still be blocked according to the Firebox configura-
tion, but it will not be automatically blocked for any rea-
son.

Select
Setup
=>
Intrusion Prevention
=>
Blocked Sites
Exceptions

2
Click
Add
.
3
Enter the IP address of the site for which you want to
create an exception. Click
OK

Blocked Sites Exceptions
dialog
box.
To remove an exception, select the IP address of the site to
remove. Click
Remove

Changing the auto-block duration
From the
Blocked Sites
dialog box, either type or use the
scroll control to change the duration, in minutes, that the
firewall automatically blocks suspect sites. Duration can
range from 1 to 32,000 minutes (about 22 days).
