Configuring Exclusions and Inclusions

By the default, the DPI-SSL applies to all traffic on the appliance when it is enabled. You can configure inclusion or exclusion lists to customize to which traffic DPI-SSL inspection applies. The Inclusion/Exclusion lists provide the ability to specify certain objects or groups. In deployments that process a large amount of traffic, to reduce the CPU impact of DPI-SSL and to prevent the appliance from reaching the maximum number of concurrent DPI-SSL inspected connections, it can be useful to exclude trusted sources.

To customize DPI-SSL server inspection

1. Navigate to the POLICY | DPI-SSL > Server SSL.

2. Scroll to the Inclusion/Exclusion section.

   

3. Select an object or group to exclude or include the Objects or Groups from DPI-SSL inspection.

   The Include drop-down menu can be used to fine tune the specified exclusion list. For example, by selecting the Remote-office-California address object in the Exclude drop-down menu and the Remote-office-Oakland address object in the Include drop-down menu.

   Object	Default Exclude	Default Include
   ADDRESS OBJECT/GROUP	None	All
   USER OBJECT/GROUP

4. Click Accept.
