SUBNETS TAB
You can help your Web Filter server work more efficiently by using the Subnets tab to help balance the
load.
Figure 9-4 Subnets tab
The Subnets tab has two sections.
• Subnet Monitoring
These settings help balance the load on your Web Filter service.
• Ignore Subnets
These settings shows the internal subnets that are detected during installation to help balance the load
on the server. These subnets are not monitored.
SUBNET MONITORING
The Subnet Monitoring section is used to identify which parts of your network should be monitored or not
by each Web Filter server. How you decide on this, depends on whether you have single or multiple Web
Filter servers, and how you want to divide the network volume load of traffic between those servers. To
configure your subnets on a single Web Filter server:
1 Identify the external traffic subnets you do not want to monitor.
2 Click the Subnets tab, and click Add.
3 Enter the IP address of the subnet in the IP Address text box.
4 Enter the subnet mask in the Mask text box.
5 Click OK.
