Configuring a Cisco Security Appliance

Applies to:
  • Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x

After Forcepoint URL Filtering is installed, the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) must be configured to work with the web protection software. The Cisco firewall passes each Internet request to Filtering Service, which analyzes the request and determines whether to block or permit access, or limit access by using quotas set in web policies.

See your Administrator Help for information about implementing policies.

For information about configuring integration with ASA through a console or telnet session, see:

  • Cisco integration configuration procedure
  • User-based policies and Cisco integration

For information on configuring your security appliance through the management interface, see the documentation for your Cisco product, available at www.cisco.com.
