The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:Ĭisco 2801 router with Cisco IOS® Software Release 12.4(15)TĬisco Security Device Manager (SDM) Version 2.5 Username Restriction: This feature does not pass the username and group information to the Websense server, but the Websense server can work for user-based policies because it has another mechanism to enable the username to correspond to an IP address. (Before you enable Websense URL filtering, you must always ensure that there is not another URL filtering scheme configured, such as N2H2.)

URL Filtering Support Restriction: This feature supports only one active URL filtering scheme at a time. URL look-up requests are sent only to the primary server. Although there is no limit to the number of Websense servers you can have, and you can configure as many servers as you wish, only one server can be active at any given time-the primary server. Websense Server Requirement: In order to enable this feature, you must have at least one Websense server, but two or more Websense servers are preferred. Prerequisites Restrictions for Firewall Websense URL Filtering Based on the speed of your network and the capacity of your URL filtering server, the time required for the initial connection can be noticeably slower when traffic is filtered with an external filtering server. Note: Because URL filtering is CPU-intensive, the use of an external filtering server ensures that the throughput of other traffic is not affected. URL Filtering is supported in Cisco IOS versions in version 12.2(11)YU and later.

URL Filtering provides greater control over the traffic that passes through the Cisco IOS Router.
