Content Filtering
The content filtering feature allows you to route DNS request to the OpenDNS platform and create content
filtering policies.
With content filter, you can:
l
Allow all DNS requests to the non-corporate domains on a wireless or wired network to be sent to the open
DNS server. When the OpenDNS credentials are configured, the W-IAP uses these credentials to access
OpenDNS to provide enterprise-level content filtering. For more information, see
Configuring OpenDNS
Credentials on page 287
l
Block certain categories of websites based on your organization policy. For example, if you block the
web-

category, clients who are assigned this policy will not be able to visit email-based websites
such as mail.yahoo.com.
l
Prevent known malware hosts from accessing your wireless network.
l
Improve employee productivity by limiting access to certain websites.
l
Reduce bandwidth consumption significantly.
Regardless of whether content filtering is disabled or enabled, the DNS requests to
