Managing a Firewall Profile

In this section:

1. Create an L3 Access Control Policy
   An L3 Access Control Policy can be created to block or limit user traffic based on a number of factors, including Source IP address, Port, Destination IP address, Protocol, etc. Additionally, an L3 Access Control Policy can be created to shape traffic according to a configurable Application Control Policy.
2. Creating an L2 Access Control Policy
3. Configuring Application Controls
   Using the Application Control screen, you can identify, control, and monitor applications that are running on wireless and wired clients associated with managed APs, and you can also apply filtering policies to prevent users from accessing certain applications.
4. URL Filtering
   You can use the URL filtering feature to block access to inappropriate websites. The Web pages available on the internet are classified into different categories, and those identified to be blocked can be configured based on available categories. Administrators can also create policies based on these categories, to allow or deny user access.
5. Creating a Device Policy
   You can control how devices installed with certain OS configurations can be connected to the network, and also control what they can be allowed to do within the network. Using the device policy service, the system can identify the type of client attempting to connect, and perform control actions such as allowing or blocking access, rate limiting, and VLAN tagging based on the OS rule.
