Cisco Cisco Content Security Management Appliance M1070 Guida Utente

To ensure that you will receive alerts about URL category set updates that will affect policy settings in 
your Configuration Master, go to Management Appliance > System Administration > Alerts and make 
sure you will receive Warning-level alerts in the System category. More information about alerts is in 

If you copy or import Configuration Master 7.1 settings into Configuration Master 7.5

 or 7.7, identities 

and policies that reference URL categories will be modified in those Configuration Masters. You should 
import a configuration file from a properly-configured Web Security appliance instead, or evaluate the 
Uncategorized URLs settings in each policy in Configuration Master 7.1 before copying or importing. 

If URL category set updates occur in future, they may change the behavior of existing policies. 
Before URL category set updates occur, you should specify default actions 

for new

and merged categories in each policy that offers URL filtering, or import a configuration from 
a Web Security appliance that has these settings already configured. 

For more information, see the “Choosing Default Settings for New and Changed Categories” section in 
the “URL Filters” chapter of the User Guide for Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Web Security or the online 
help on the Web Security appliance. 

Category set updates trigger two types of alerts: 

Alerts about category changes 

Alerts about policies that have changed or been disabled as a result of category changes 

When you receive alerts about URL category set changes, you should check your existing URL 
category-based policies and identities in Configuration Master 7.5 

and higher to be sure they still meet 

your policy goals. 

For more information about the kinds of changes that might require your attention, see the “Responding 
to Alerts about URL Category Set Updates” section in the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS for Web Security 
User Guide at the link provided in
