NetSweeper – Managing Transparent Filtering Addresses and Ranges

Within the platform, we are able to control the web filtering levels which a client receives by listing the IP address or range and then associating that listing with the policy of choice.

Please Note – The most specific client setting applies!

An example here would be where we want to

  • enable BYOD filtering to a IP used on the wireless system
  • enable Staff access from the staff DHCP range
  • enable Student access from an IP address Block

Change filtering for a Single IP Address

From Web Admin – Policies – Clients – Click Create

Complete the form

  • Add the Group – nsw-BYOD@dfe-1234
  • Workstation Address – Check
  • Client Name – BYODAccessPoint@dfe-1234
  • IP Address – 10.10.10.250
  • Workstation Name – <<Optional Add Details>>
  • Comments – Enable BYOD level filtering for the access point address

Click – Submit to apply the change
