Hi Johny,

How are you?

may be your problem is the ??? showed in your mp3 policy.

At "File Access and Protocol Management Guide", page 165 you'll find a example how to create a policy to block mp3 files. Following the steps from this guide you will have your policy working properly.

😉

All the best,

Hi   Rodrigo,

This is how i created the fpolicy but i don't know from where ??? is coming

fpolicy create mp3 screen

fpolicy ext inc add mp3 mp3

fpolicy options mp3 required on

fpolicy enable mp3 –f

fpolicy mon add mp3 -p cifs -f write

Thanks

Johny

Hi Zainal,

Could you post the current configuration, which files are blocked / should not be blocked and the steps you took to configure it?

Further, which type of OnTap are you using ? cDot or 7 mode?

If possible, could you create a new topic for your specific problem?

kind regards,

Patrick
