How to read the smartdefense, web intelligence, content inspection status?

[antonyso88]

I've installed R61 in enterprise mode with HA solution. After installation, i want to know the smartdefense, web intelligence, content inspection are running or not? How can i check the status? And how to disable/enable it? Thanks so much.

If the firewall is running, those services are running. There is no command to disable Smart Defense.

What you can do, is change various enforcement settings in Smart Dashboard, on the SmartDefense tab.

Thx for your information.

If i want to read their status, how to check it? Also, how to stop/start the services?

I am worry after migration from my NG FP2 box into R61. It will affect our traffic.

BTW, it doesn't require license?

You can't stop/start SmartDefense services. It's integrated with the rest of the FW processing. Similarly, you can't just "read the status" of Smart Defense. It's integrated.

If you want to completely stop it, run cpstop. That will stop everything passing through the firewall.

There are license requirements for Web Intelligence, and a subscription to receive updates for SmartDefense.

It means it is running with the firewall. I haven't license and do any subscription. It is also running but just with outdated pattern. Right? If not possible to stop it. Can i uncheck all the option in the smartdefense, web intelligence, content inspection?

Yes you can uncheck the options if you wish. No-one's stopping you. But think carefully about the various options and what YOU need for YOUR environment.
