Configuring a SonicWall GAV Exclusion List

Any IP addresses listed in the exclusion list bypass virus scanning on their traffic. The Gateway AV Exclusion List section provides the ability to either select an Address Object or define a range of IP addresses whose traffic will be excluded from SonicWall Gateway Anti-Virus scanning.

  5. Select one of these:
    • Use Address Object radio button
      1. Select an address object from the Use Address Object list.
      2. Click OK.
    • Use Address Range radio button.
      1. Click the Add icon. The Add GAV Range Entry dialog displays.
      2. Enter the IP address range in the IP Address From and IP Address To fields.
      3. Click OK. Your IP address range appears in the Gateway AV Exclusion List table.
        1. To change an entry, click the Edit icon in the Configure column
        2. To delete an entry, click the Delete icon.
        3. To delete all entries in the exclusion list, click the Delete All button.
