Your SonicWALL CSM is now fully operational, filtering HTTP content for all users. At
this point, all network user traffic on the network segment is filtered using the pre­configured *Default Policy, which automatically applies the following Web filter
categories to all users: Adult Content, Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco, and Racism/Hate/
violence/Weapons. For more information on the *Default Policy, refer to

“Understanding

the *Default Policy” on page 21.

For information on modifying the *Default Policy to block more objectionable content

6Understanding the *Default Policy

The SonicWALL CSM includes a pre-configured *Default Policy with pre-defined Web
Filter Category Sets. The default settings are automatically applied when you add users
from the network segment protected by the SonicWALL

CSM, unless you assign a

custom filtering policy to them.

You can use the *Default Policy and its pre-configured Web Filter Category Sets as a
base-line defense, providing the highest level of content filtering to all users. The *Default
Policy is initially configured to block the most common objectionable content categories,
including:

• Adult Content - Sites that contain material of adult nature that may or may not
contain excessive violence, sexual content, or nudity. These sites include profane or
vulgar content and sites that are not appropriate for children.

• Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco - Sites that promote or offer alcohol/tobacco products for
sale, or provide the means to create them. Also includes sites that glorify, tout, or
other wise encourage the consumption of alcohol or tobacco. Sites that promote,
offer, sell, supply, encourage or otherwise advocate the illegal use, cultivation,
manufacture, or distribution of drugs, pharmaceuticals, intoxicating plants or
chemicals and their related paraphernalia. Does not include sites that sell alcohol or
tobacco as a subset of other products.

• Racism/Hate/violence/Weapons - Sites that depict extreme physical harm to
people or property, or that advocate or provide instructions on ways to cause such
harm. Also includes sites that advocate, depict hostility or aggression toward, or
denigrate an individual or group based on the basis of race, religion, gender,
nationality, ethnic origin, or other involuntary characteristics.

• Safe Search Enforcement - Enables the strictest filtering on all searches on search
engines like Google and Yahoo that offer some form of safe-search filtering.

Note: Refer to the SonicOS CF 2.5 Administrator’s Guide for a detailed description of

all SonicWALL Content Filtering Service *Default Policy categories, including

SonicWALL CSM Series Appliance Getting Started Guide Page 23

7Verifying the *Default Policy

You can verify that the *Default Policy is active by testing the each default Web filter
category using a computer with an IP address that is within the assigned IP address
range you specified in Users and Hosts > Hosts and that is on the same LAN as the
SonicWALL CSM. For each *Default Policy Web filter category, visit a well-known Web
site in that category. If the SonicWALL CSM has been correctly configured, you will see a
page indicating that the site has been blocked by policy.

• To test the Adult Content filter, visit a well-known Web site in that category, for
example, <www.playboy.com>.

• To test the Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco filter, visit a well-known Web site in that
category, for example, <www.coors.com>.

•To test the Racism/Hate/Violence/Weapons filter, visit a well-known Web site in that
category, for example, <www.winchester.com>.

If the SonicWALL CSM has been correctly configured, for each Web site you test, you will
see the message, “This site has been blocked by policy.”

Advanced Configuration

After you initially set up and configure your SonicWALL CSM, these are the key steps
you take to provide content filtering to your LAN:

1. Organize your Web Filters and determine the content filtering needs for each
Category Set. These can be local users, RADIUS users, or Active Directory users.

2. Create content filtering policies using the default categories, custom categories and
web risks. You can create new policies or modify the twelve default policies.

3. Assemble the policies into Category Sets to meet the needs of each user.

4. Apply the appropriate Category Set.

5. Determine if any of your users have content filtering needs different from the needs
of the Category Set they belong to, and assign an appropriate policy or Category Set
to each exceptional user.

6. Determine the application filtering needs of your LAN and configure application
filters. For example, do you want to block instant messaging or streaming video?

7. Create usage reports using the SonicWALL ViewPoint application (available for
download from

<https://www.mysonicwall.com>).

8. If you are protecting multiple subnets, create static routes between the
SonicWALL

CSM and servers in the different subnets.

Note: For more information on these advanced configuration procedures, refer to the

SonicOS CF 2.5 Administrator’s Guide.

Glossary of Networking Terms

SonicWALL ADConnector - A SonicWALL application for integrating SonicWALL
Content Security Manager filtering policies with Microsoft Active Directory groups and
users.

application filtering - A signature-based deep packet inspection mechanism for
controlling peer-to-peer (P2P), Instant Messaging (IM), and Multimedia applications
usage.

content filtering (CF) - A method of screening Web pages and email messages to
exclude specified users from access to them, using special filtering policies. The policies
use a variety of exclusion criteria including character string matching or source IP
address matching. Additionally, the policies contain priority levels, indicating sensitivity of
content.

Content Security Manager (CSM) - A SonicWALL Internet content and application filtering

solution that enhances security and employee productivity, optimizes network bandwidth
and mitigates legal liabilities.

default gateway - A device on an internetwork that forwards packets to another network.

DNS - Domain Name System, a hierarchical naming system that resolves a domain

name with its associated IP address. A DNS server looks up the name of a computer and
finds the corresponding IP address. This allows users to access hosts using friendly text­based names instead of IP addresses. These names are called fully qualified domain
names (FQDN).

hardware failover - The capability of a mission-critical device, such as a SonicWALL
CSM, to automatically failover to a backup device in the event of a hardware failure on
the primary unit.

IP address - Internet Protocol Address, a thirty-two bit number that identifies a computer
or other resource on the Internet or on any TCP/IP network. The number is usually
expressed as four numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods, for example,

172.16.31.254.

LAN - A Local Area Network is typically a group of computers located at a single
location, and is commonly based on the Ethernet architecture.

packet - A unit of information transmitted over the internet or within any TCP/IP network.
Packets have a header, which contains information about the source, destination, and
protocol to be used for the data, and a body, which contains the data being transmitted.

private IP address - An IP address for a resource in your network that is not known or
published outside the zone (for example LAN) where it is located.

public IP address - An IP address for a resource in your network that is published
outside your network to the WAN.

SonicWALL CSM Series Appliance Getting Started Guide Page 35

router - A device that routes data between networks through IP address information in
the header of the IP packet. A router forwards packets to other routers until the packets
reach their destination. The Internet is the largest example of a routed network.

subnet - A portion of a network. Each subnet within a network shares a common network
address and is uniquely identified by a subnetwork number.

subnet mask - A 32-bit number used to separate the network and host sections of an IP
address. A subnet mask subdivides an IP network into smaller pieces. An example of a
subnet mask might be 255.255.255.248 for subnet with only eight IP addresses.

TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the basic communication
protocol of the Internet. It supports sending information in packets, and identifies each
device with a unique numeric IP address.

WAN - A Wide Area Network is a geographically distributed network composed of
multiple networks joined into a single large network. The Internet is a global WAN.
