Setting Scanning Exclusions and Web Access Exceptions
After you have specified which IP addresses and ports the STM scans for malware threats,
you can set scanning exclusion rules for certain IP addresses and ports. Similarly, after you
have specified which content the STM filters, you can set exception rules for users and
members of a group.
Setting Scanning Exclusions
To save resources, you can configure scanning exclusions for IP addresses and ports that
you know are secure. For example, if your network includes a Web server that hosts Web
pages that are accessible by anyone on the Internet, the files that are hosted by your Web
server do not need to be scanned. To prevent the STM from scanning these files, you can
configure up to 127 scanning exclusion rules for your Web server.
