How to configure older versions of IM/P2P applications
Some older versions of IM protocols are able to bypass file blocking because the
message types are not recognized.
Supported IM protocols include:
• MSN 6.0 and above
• ICQ 4.0 and above
• AIM 5.0 and above
• Yahoo 6.0 and above
If you want to block a protocol that is older than the ones listed above, use the CLI
command: For details see the FortiGate CLI Reference.
config imp2p old-version.
How to configure protocols that are not supported
