Content Filter List Updates (optional)
Since content on the Internet is constantly changing, the SonicWALL automatically
updates the Content Filter List every week to ensure that access restrictions to new
and relocated sites are properly enforced.
•
Log and Block or Log Only
You may configure the SonicWALL to log and block access to objectional Web
sites, or to log inappropriate usage without blocking Web access.
•
Filter Protocols
In addition to filtering access to Web sites, the SonicWALL can also block
Newsgroups, ActiveX, Java, Cookies, and Web Proxies.
Logging and Reporting
•
Log Categories

log. You may view the event log from the SonicWALL's Web Management
Interface or receive the log as an E-mail file.

Syslog Server Support
In addition to the standard screen log, the SonicWALL can write extremely
detailed event log information to an external Syslog server. Syslog is the
industry-standard method to capture information about network activity.
•
E-mail Alerts
The SonicWALL may be configured to send alerts of high-priority events, such as
attacks, system errors, and blocked Web sites. When these events occur, alerts
may be immediately sent to an E-mail address or E-mail pager.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
•
DHCP Server
The DHCP Server offers centralized management of TCP/IP client
configurations, including IP addresses, gateway addresses, and DNS
addresses. Upon startup, each network client receives its TCP/IP settings
automatically from the SonicWALL's DHCP Server.
