Global Settings

The Global Settings section of the Content Filter page brings up the information for defining the global settings for CFS policies. Many of the fields on this page have an i (information) icon on the right, which gives more information about that field. The Global Settings section provides these configuration options:

Max URL Cache Entries You can select the maximum number of URL entries that can be cached. The minimum is 25,600 and the maximum is 51,200. In the note beneath this field, there is a link on the word “here” that gives the supported range for the selected model.
Enable Content Filtering Service This setting defaults to Enabled.
Block if CFS Server is Unavailable When this option is selected, if the CFS server is detected as unavailable, then all web access is blocked.
Server Timeout If the network security appliance does not get a response from the CFS server within this timeout value, the sever is marked as unavailable. The minimum is two seconds, the maximum is 10 seconds, and the default is five seconds. This setting is not available when Block if CFS Server is Unavailable is not checked.
Secondary Local CFS Server This field holds the IP address for secondary local CFS server. It becomes available when Enable Local CFS Server is checked.
