Usage Guidelines
If no response action is configured, the default action block takes effect.
An application refers to the application program for performing a task or providing a service.
- If you configure the response action only for the protocol, the response action applies to all applications using this protocol.
- If you configure response actions for both the protocol and the application, the response action for the application takes effect.
For example, both applications Netease_Webmail and Yahoo_WebMail use HTTP to provide services. If you configure the response action for HTTP as block, the response action block takes effect on both Netease_Webmail and Yahoo_WebMail. If you need to configure an exception for Netease_Webmail, configure the response action for Netease_Webmail as alert in Application Exception. Then the response action for Yahoo_WebMail is block whereas the response action for Netease_Webmail is alert.
Example
# Create profile av_application, configure virus detection for mail attachments downloaded from Yahoo.com in the profile, and set the response action to block.
<AC6605> system-view [AC6605] profile type av name av_application [AC6605-profile-av-av_application] exception application name Yahoo_WebMail action block
