SonicWALL TZ 180 TotalSecure
• Use the IPS Global Setting to enable the option Prevent All for all three IPS Signature Groups.
Now all three IPS Signature Groups [High, Medium resp. Low Priority] will be Prevented, which will Prevent
quite a lot flowing in the network, for example:
• MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, IRC and other Instant Messaging application will not work
as will not any Peer-to-Peer applications.
• A Terminal Service client will not be able to connect.
• The VoIP Skype-application will not be able to connect
• Zone Transfers will be Prevented
After these settings are implemented, the network administrator must keep a very close eye on the
logs of the SonicWALL appliance for some time and there possibly could be some enraged users
for a brief period of time.
As soon as traffic is Prevented by the IPS, a log-entry will be written to the logs. Depending whether
the prevented traffic is valid or not, the network administrator has the option to disable the
Prevention of that particular IPS-event, directly from the log viewer.
If the user tries to log in to a blocked site, an error message will appear.
Setting Up SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Protection
The SonicWALL Anti-Spyware license provided on your SonicWALL security appliance does not
automatically enable the protection. To configure SonicWALL Anti-Spyware to begin protecting
your network, you need to perform the following steps:
1. Enable SonicWALL Anti-Spyware
2. Specify Spyware Danger Level Protection
3. Apply SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Protection to Zones
Note: For complete instructions on setting up SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Service, refer to the
SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Service Administrator’s Guide
available on the SonicWALL Web site
<http://www.sonicwall.com/us/3396.html>
Once you configure these basic anti-spyware protection settings, you can perform additional
configuration options to tailor SonicWALL Spyware protection for your network environment.
Selecting Threat Protection > Anti-Spyware displays the configuration settings for SonicWALL
Anti-Spyware on your SonicWALL security appliance. The Anti-Spyware page is divided into three
sections:
• Anti-Spyware Status - displays status information on the state of the signature database,
your SonicWALL Anti-Spyware license, and other information.
