NSX-T URL analysis allows you to get insight into what websites are accessed within the organization. These websites are scored so you can review and understand the reputation and risk of the accessed websites. This article will explain to you how to configure URL Analysis.
Deployment Steps
- STEP 01) Enable URL Analysis on an Edge Cluster
- STEP 02) Create a context Profile
- STEP 03) Create a Tier-1 Gateway Firewall Rule
- STEP 04) Generate web traffic
