Turn off reporting of unknown network traffic

Note: If you use role-based administration:
  • You must have the Policy setting - firewall right to configure a firewall policy.
  • You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

For more information, see Managing roles and sub-estates.

You can prevent the firewall on endpoint computers from reporting unknown network traffic to Enterprise Console. The firewall regards traffic as unknown if there is no rule for it.

To prevent the firewall on endpoint computers from reporting unknown network traffic to Enterprise Console:

  1. Double-click the firewall policy you want to change.
  2. On the Welcome page of the Firewall Policy wizard, click Advanced firewall policy.
  3. Under Configurations, click Configure next to the location for which you want to configure the firewall.
  4. Click the General tab.
  5. Under Blocking, select the Use checksums to authenticate applications check box.
  6. Under Reporting, clear the Report unknown applications and traffic to the management console check box.
