Description

Not all filtering capabilities are supported for each protocol. The HTTP protocol supports all content filtering features. The FTP protocol supports only lock Extension List and Protocol Command Block List. The e-mail protocols (SMTP, IMAP, POP3) supports limited to Block Extension List, Protocol Command Block List, and MIME Pattern Filtering.

Release Information

Starting in Junos OS Release 21.4R1, content filtering is performed by detecting the file content and not the file extensions. We have introduced the rule-set and rules configurations under the [edit security utm utm-policy <utm-policy-name> content-filtering] hierarchy level. These rules and rule-set allows you to configure direction specific content filters and connection reset.

So, content filtering options based on mime-type, content-type, and protocol command is not supported. After you upgrade to Junos OS Release 21.4R1, previously existing file extension based content filtering options under the [edit security utm utm-policy <utm-policy-name> content-filtering] hierarchy are no more available for configuration.

Junos OS Release 21.4R1 allows you to use legacy functionality if you don’t want to migrate to this modern functionality. You will be allowed to use the legacy configurations but all the legacy configuration knobs are deprecated and are hidden. Also, you will receive system logs and error message warnings when you use all the legacy deprecated knobs.

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.5.

The [edit security utm default-configuration] hierarchy level is introduced in Junos OS Release 18.2R1.

Support for configuration in logical systems introduced in Junos OS Release 18.3R1.

Support for configuration in tenant systems introduced in Junos OS Release 19.2R1.
