Configure Subnets
Configuring subnets helps to reduce or balance the load on your Web Filter server(s), enabling it to work
more efficiently. Use the Subnets tab to configure subnets:
Figure 2-1 Subnets tab
The Subnets tab has two sections:
• Subnet Monitoring – These settings help reduce or balance the load on your Web Filter server.
• Ignore Subnets – These settings show the internal subnets that were detected when you ran the
Configuration Wizard. 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.
6 Repeat steps 1 to 5 for other subnets you do not want to monitor.
7Select Do not Monitor traffic to or from these subnets.
