Web filtering (OpenDNS)
Web filtering allows you to control access to services that can be accessed through the TransPort
device.
It does this by forwarding all Domain Name System (DNS) traffic to a web filtering service. This allows
the network security administrator to configure a set of policies with the web filtering service that are
applied to all routers with web filtering enabled. For example, a policy may allow or deny access to a
specific service or type of service such as social media, gaming, and so on.
TransPort supports Cisco Umbrella (formally known as OpenDNS). For more information, see
https://umbrella.cisco.com.
Configure web filtering using Cisco Umbrella
This section describes how to configure the web filter on a TransPort device using the Cisco Umbrella
service.
To use Cisco Umbrella with your device, you must obtain an API token. For instructions on how to do
this, see Cisco-Umbrella-Network-Device-Integrations.
CAUTION! Due to recent changes in Cisco Umbrella, if you have a legacy token generated
prior to December 7, 2017, you cannot use the token with a TransPort device. Regenerate a
token from your Umbrella console.
Once you have completed your Cisco Umbrella configuration, you can verify that your setup is working
by following the steps outlined in How-to-test-for-successful-OpenDNS-configuration.
