Getting Started 25
Setting up the Websense V10000
If this basic configuration is adequate for your network, no additional
configuration is necessary.
If, however, you want to configure Network Agent to monitor requests sent to
some internal machines (like an internal Web server), or to ignore Internet
requests sent from certain machines, you can make those changes in Websense
Manager, under Settings > Network Agent > Global. See Websense Manager
Help for details.
11.
If you are using explicit proxy, click the IP address under Settings >Network
Agent in the left navigation pane.
12.
Click Add in the Proxies and Caches area.
13.
Enter the IP address assigned to the network interface used for inbound traffic on
the V10000 appliance (usually P1, but some organizations use P2 for inbound
traffic).
14.
Click OK to cache your changes. Changes are not implemented until you click
Save All.
These are the steps required to configure Websense Web Security so that the Websense
V10000 is ready for default operations. See the Websense Manager Help for details on
the variety of features and options available for Websense Web Security.
Special directory service considerations
If you plan to apply filtering policies to individual users and groups in your network,
special configuration steps are required to assure that the Websense V10000 can
identify users successfully in networks that:
Use Windows NT Directory or Active Directory (Mixed Mode)
Plan to use Websense Logon Agent to transparently identify users in Active
Directory (Native Mode),
In these environments, the Websense V10000 appliance must be configured to
communicate with a Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) to resolve domain
names to domain controller IP addresses. The precise steps vary, depending on your
environment.
Note
On the V10000 appliance, Websense sends blocking
information for non-HTTP protocols through the N
network interface if it is connected to a bidirectional span
port, and that port is identified and configured in the
V10000 console. Otherwise, blocking information is sent
through the C interface.
Configuration settings or changes for the blocking NIC in
Websense Manager are disregarded by the V10000. (See
the Websense Manager Help topic on Configuring NIC
settings for information about the blocking NIC.)
