Enabling URL Filtering on the Controller

You can enable the URL filtering feature on the WLAN controller to block or allow access to specific web sites or web pages.

By configuring the controller, the administrator can create a wireless network SSID and allow or deny access to a category of websites for all users that join this SSID.

Follow these steps to enable URL filtering on the controller:

  1. In the Wireless LANs page, from the System tree hierarchy, select the domain, zone or WLAN system for which you want to enable URL.
  2. Click Create.
    The Wireless LANs page appears.
  3. In Advance Options, select the Enabled check-box against the URL Filtering option.
    The URL Filtering Profile field appears. Select a profile from a list of existing URL filtering profiles displayed in the drop-down menu. You can also click Create to create a new URL filtering profile.

    For more information, see Creating a URL Filtering Policy.
