If the "Monitor selected ports only" network port monitoring mode is used, you can create a list of applications for which Kaspersky Security monitors all network ports.
We recommend including applications that receive or transmit data via the FTP protocol in the list of applications for which Kaspersky Security monitors all network ports.
To use Kaspersky Security Center to create a list of applications for which all network ports are monitored:
- Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
- In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
- In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
- Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
- In the policy properties window, select the Network traffic monitoring section in the list on the left.
- In the right part of the window, in the Monitored ports section, select Monitor selected ports only.
- Click the Settings button.
- In the Network ports window that opens, select the Monitor all ports for specified applications check box.
- In the list of applications under the Monitor all ports for specified applications check box, do the following:
- Set the check boxes next to the names of applications for which you want to monitor all network ports.
By default, the check boxes are set next to all applications that are listed in the Network ports window.
- Clear the check boxes next to the names of applications for which you do not want to monitor network ports.
- Set the check boxes next to the names of applications for which you want to monitor all network ports.
- If the required application is not shown in the list of applications, you can add it. To do this, perform the following actions:
- Click the Add link under the list of applications and open the Application window.
- In the Path field, enter the path to the executable file of the application.
- In the Name field, enter an application name.
- In the Application window, click OK.
The application that you have added appears at the end of the list of applications in the Network ports window.
- In the Network ports window, click OK.
- Click the Apply button.
To use the local interface to create a list of applications for which all network ports are monitored:
- On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
- In the left part of the window, in the Other settings section, select Network traffic monitoring.
In the right part of the window the settings for Network Ports Monitoring and for Scanning Secure Connections are displayed.
If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.
- In the Monitored ports section, select Monitor selected ports only.
- Complete steps 6–9 of the previous instructions.
- If the required application is not shown in the list of applications, you can add it. To do this, perform the following actions:
- Click the Add link under the list of applications and open the context menu.
- Select the way in which to add the application to the list of applications:
- To select an application from the list of applications that are installed on the protected virtual machine, select the Applications command.
A window opens, letting you specify the name of the application.
- To specify the location of the application's executable file, select the Browse command.
A window opens, letting you specify the path to the executable file of the application.
- To select an application from the list of applications that are installed on the protected virtual machine, select the Applications command.
- The Application window opens after you select the application.
- In the Name field, enter a name for the selected application.
- Click OK.
The application that you have added appears at the end of the list of applications in the Network ports window.
- In the Network ports window, click OK.
- To save changes, click the Save button.
