PIX 515 content filtering

[richmorrow624]

We have a PIX 515 and would like to do content filtering.

Can this be done without using a filter server with as much control as with one?

I need to set up groups and have the groups with differnt content filters.

Is this possible?

Hello Rich,

Content/URL filtering is not possible with PIX. You need to have an external N2H2 or Websense server integrated with PIX. With the new ASA series of boxes, you have an integrated CSC module, which can do URL/content filtering.

Hope this helps.. all the best.. rate replies if found useful..

With Content/URL filtering on the new ASA series question:

Can a remote 501 access a new ASA content with the CSC module provide for content filtering for the remote site?

Thanks!

I dont think so.... the traffic should hit the interfaces of the ASA to get URL filtered...
