Anomaly
The Anomaly menu detects and identifies network traffic that attempts to take
advantage of known exploits.
When you are creating a new anomaly, you can now specify the severity, and
instead of selecting Logging, you now select Packet Log. The field called
Parameters is no longer available.
Protocol Decoder
The Protocol Decoder menu, new for FortiOS 3.0 displays protocol anomalies for
logging purposes. You can enable or disable logging for a protocol anomaly, and
configure the IPS action in response to detecting an anomaly. If you require to
revert back to default settings, you can select the Reset icon.
You can use the CLI to configure session control based on source and destination
address. The protocol anomaly list is updated when the firmware image is
upgraded.

Intrusion Protection.

The Content Block menu has a new tab called Web Content Exempt.
URL Filter
The URL Filter menu allows or blocks access to specific URLs. You can also add
patterns or expressions to allow or block URLs. The URL Filter menu has Web
URL Block tab and Web Pattern Block tab.
In FortiOS v2.80MR11, URL Filter used to be URL Block. Web Filter is now
merged with URL Filter.
FortiGuard-Web Filter
The FortiGuard-Web Filter menu, formerly under Web Filter > Category Block >
Configuration, is now its own menu in the Web Filter menu.
The FortiGuard-Web is a managed web filtering solution provided by Fortinet,

to allow, block, or monitor.

upgrade using the web-based manager. Make sure to document these lists for reference to
verify after the upgrade is successful. See the Release Notes for FortiOS 3.0MR1 for more
