final-reseaux
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I have an UC540 and i would like to block severals URL like "yahoo.fr" for example.

What is the procedure ?

I think its a modification of ACL...but I don't know how configure it.

Sincerly,

Romain

This was put on for one client but I plagiarized this from another configuration I found else where, I do believe you can also block things via the ACL's as well, but I have never been asked to do that so I haven't bothered to learn how to do it I'm kinda lazy with things like that, if I have no need for it, I don't bother learning it LOL

Hope it helps you

Cheers,

David.

This configuration of the fw is by default when we choose the medium level in CCA, but I think it's more for instant messaging application than an url for a website.

My client wants to block several website and maybe live messenger.

Anybody has another idea ?

Thx,

Romain

Hi Romain,

I am unaware of any Cisco device that can block URL's I am not sure either if Iron Port can do it as I am still educating myself in the various models.

If you have an ISA server there (Never used or and do not plan too), then you could use this as it will also support Dynamic DNS, however on the IOS you will need to block the IP address, and this is not always useful as IP's can change to any particular URL at any time.

For now you might have to manually manage this by blocking the IP address.

Cheers,

David.

Since Websense integrates with Cisco, I've provided some of the common Websense configuration examples. Since we always use Websense for our web filtering client needs, I cannot tell you if it will work without the backend Websense.

ip inspect name SDM_LOW http java-list 51 urlfilter alert on timeout 60

ip urlfilter allow-mode on
ip urlfilter cache 500
ip urlfilter exclusive-domain deny .yahoo.fr

ip urlfilter server vendor websense ###.###.###.### retrans 6 timeout 10

access-list 51 permit any

This is something you should test. The "ip urlfilter allow-mode on" command allows the client devices to continue browsing even if Websense is not responsive (or not present). I am just NOT sure if the allow-mode command will bypass the "ip urlfilter exclusive-domain deny " command when a websense server is not present.

You also have to have a valid domain name lookup server defined on the router/UC and ip domain lookup enabled.

If you have time to test this, could you let us know if it works without a Websense server?

You might also want to try removing the "ip urlfilter server vendor websense ###.###.###.### retrans 6 timeout 10" command to see if the config will work at all.

Hi Michael,

If I get the chance to I will be more then happy and willing to do some testing for you, I need to finalize a couple of deployments first before I can venture into lab mode and do some testing. Sadly I have neglected some other work of late to do some re-educating and familiarization of new products/services, I need to get back on track.

I guess a big thanks to Dave Harper for lending me his eyes and making himself available to respond back to my e-mails it certainly helps with being able to move on when you get stuck.

I will keep you posted on when I do and how it goes.

Cheers,

David.
