There are a number of ways global firewall settings get applied to clients.

    Section

    Settings

    Firewall Settings

    Firewall Log Count

    Send Firewall Log Information to the OfficeScan Server Hourly to Determine the Possibility of a Firewall Outbreak

  2. Click Save.

Send Firewall Logs to the Server

You can grant certain clients the privilege to send firewall logs to the OfficeScan server. Configure the log sending schedule in this section. Only clients with the privilege to send firewall logs will use the schedule.

See Firewall Privileges for information on firewall privileges available to selected clients.

Update the OfficeScan Firewall Driver Only After a System Reboot

Enable the OfficeScan client to update the Common Firewall Driver only after the client computer restarts. Enable this option to avoid potential client computer disruptions (such as temporary disconnection from the network) when the Common Firewall Driver updates during client upgrade.

Send Firewall Log Information to the OfficeScan Server Hourly to Determine the Possibility of a Firewall Outbreak

When you enable this option, OfficeScan clients will send firewall log counts once every hour to the OfficeScan server. For details about firewall logs, see Firewall Logs.

OfficeScan uses log counts and the firewall violation outbreak criteria to determine the possibility of a firewall violation outbreak. OfficeScan sends email notifications to OfficeScan administrators in the event of an outbreak.
