Carrier endpoint filter lists configuration settings

The following are Carrier endpoint filter list configuration settings in Security Profiles > Carrier Endpoint Filter Lists.

Carrier Endpoint Filter Lists

Lists all the endpoint filters that you created. On this page, you can edit, delete or create a new endpoint fil- ter list.

 

Create New

Creates a new endpoint filter list. When you select Create New, you are automatically redirected to the New List page. You must enter a name to go to the Carrier Endpoint Filter Lists Settings page.

Edit                                                 Modifies settings within an endpoint filter list in the list.

Removes an endpoint filter in the list.

Delete

To remove multiple endpoint filter lists from within the list, on the Carrier Endpoint Filter List page, in each of the rows of the endpoint filter lists you want removed, select the check box and then select Delete.

To remove all endpoint filter lists from the list, on the Carrier Endpoint Fil- ter List page, select the check box in the check box column and then select Delete.

Name                                              The name of the endpoint filter.

# Entries                                         The number of carrier endpoint patterns in each carrier endpoint filter list.

MMS Profiles                                 The MMS profile that the carrier endpoint filter list is added to.

Comments                                      A description about the endpoint filter.

Ref.                                                 Displays the number of times the object is referenced to other objects.

For example, av_1 profile is applied to a security policy; on the Profile page (Security Profiles > Antivirus > Profiles), 1 appears in Ref. .

To view the location of the referenced object, select the number in Ref., and the Object Usage window appears displaying the various locations of the referenced object.

To view more information about how the object is being used, use one of the following icons that is avialable within the Object Usage window:

  • View the list page for these objects – automatically redirects you to the list page where the object is referenced at.
  • Edit this object – modifies settings within that particular setting that the object is referenced with. For example, av_1 profile is referenced with a security policy and so, when this icon is selected, the user is redir- ected to the Edit Policy page.
  • View the details for this object – table, similar to the log viewer table, contains information about what settings are configured within that particular setting that the object is referenced with. For example,

av_1 profile is referenced with a security policy, and that security policy’s settings appear within the table.
