CLI Reference

config system web-filter

config system web-filter

Use this command to manage FortiGuard web filter category updates. FortiGuard maintains massive lists of web sites classified into categories so that you can enforce categorical decisions in your rules, like "do not do SSL forward proxy for sites belonging to the Personal Privacy category."

Before you begin:

  • You must have read-write permission for system settings.

Syntax

config system web-filter

set cache-status {enable|disable}

set cache-ttl <integer>

set fds-port <integer>

end

cache-status

Enable/disable caching of the categorical lists of websites.

cache-ttl

Specify cache expiration. The default is 3600. The valid range is 10 to 86,400. When the cache expires, FortiADC initiates an update from FortiGuard.

fds-port

Specify the port to receive updates. The default is 53. An alternative is 8888.

Example

FortiADC-VM # config system web-filter

FortiADC-VM (web-filter) # set cache-status enable

FortiADC-VM (web-filter) # end
