Carrier Endpoint Filter Lists

A carrier endpoint filter list contains carrier endpoint patterns. A pattern can match one carrier endpoint or can use wildcards or regular expressions to match multiple carrier endpoints. For each pattern, you select the action that the unit takes on a message when the pattern matches a carrier endpoint in the message. Actions include blocking the message, exempting the message from MMS scanning, and exempting the message from all scanning. You can also configure the pattern to intercept the message and content archive the message to a FortiAnalyzer unit.

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 filter 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.
Delete Removes an endpoint filter in the list.

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 Filter 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 available 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 redirected 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.

Enable Indicates whether or not the pattern is enabled.
Pattern Enter or change the pattern that FortiOS Carrier uses to match with carrier endpoints. The pattern can be a single carrier endpoint or consist of wildcards or Perl regular expressions that will match more than one carrier endpoint. Set Pattern Type to correspond to the pattern that you want to use.
Action Select the action taken by FortiOS Carrier for messages from a carrier endpoint that matches the carrier endpoint pattern:
Pattern Type The type of pattern chosen.
New Entry page
Pattern Enter or change the pattern that FortiOS Carrier uses to match with carrier endpoints. The pattern can be a single carrier endpoint or consist of wildcards or Perl regular expressions that will match more than one carrier endpoint. Set Pattern Type to correspond to the pattern that you want to use.
Action(s)

Select the action taken by FortiOS Carrier for messages from a carrier endpoint that matches the carrier endpoint pattern:

Action(s) can be:

  • None
  • Block
  • Exempt from mass MMS
  • Exempt from all scanning
Content Archive MMS messages from the carrier endpoint are delivered, the message content is DLP archived according to MMS DLP archive settings. Content archiving is also called DLP archiving.
Pattern Type Select a pattern type as one of Single Carrier Endpoint, Wildcard or Regular Expression.

Wildcard and Regular Expression will match multiple patterns where Single Carrier Endpoint matches only one.
Enable Select to enable this carrier endpoint filter pattern.
