You can control access to Internet content by screening for Web services, Web addresses, and keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the firewall to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites. • Permits scheduling of firewall policies by day and time. 1-2 Introduction 1.1 November, 2009
