Configure trusted private IP addressses

By default AFA treats private IP addresses like 10.0.0.1 as non-threatening. Since these IP addresses are not routed on the public Internet, they typically represent machines that are owned by your corporation and are therefore not threatening. If desired, you can change this behavior.

Do the following:

  1. In the toolbar, click your username.

    A drop-down menu appears.

  2. Select Administration.

  3. The Administration page appears, displaying the Options tab.

  4. Click the Compliance tab.

    The Compliance tab appears, displaying the Risk Profiles sub-tab.

  5. Click the Compliance Options sub-tab.

  6. Do one of the following:

    • To treat private IP addresses as threatening, clear the Trust private IP addresses check box.
    • To treat private IP addresses as non-threatening, select the Trust private IP addresses check box.

  7. Click OK.

Note: This setting will only take effect in future reports that you generate.
