Web Page Blocking
The Web Page Blocking testpoint attempts to download
Web pages from the Internet that are known to be blocked
by the filtering appliance. It checks to see if a blocked page
would display if a request is made for a site set up to be
blocked by the filter. If a block page is detected, this indi-
cates that basic URL blocking functions are working.
1. Click Web Page Blocking in the Testpoint Options branch
of the tree to display the Block Page Testpoint Options
frame in the right panel:
Fig. 1:3-10 Web Page Blocking
2. Configure any of the following options by making a
numerical selection for that designated field:
•
Test interval (seconds)

Watchdog will use in the interval between attempting to
test the block page response in the appliance. The
default is

seconds, and the minimum number of
seconds that can be selected is
10
.
•
Warning state threshold
- The number of consecu-
tive tests an appliance can fail before Watchdog issues
that appliance a warning state. The default is
