This section describes how to allow outbound Trellix Helix communication from a Network Security, Email Security — Server, or Endpoint Security (HX) appliance to go through an HTTP proxy.

Before you perform this procedure, ensure that the HTTP proxy is configured and enabled on the appliance. For details, see the System Administration Guide for the appliance.

To enable communication through an HTTP proxy:

  2. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal               
  3. Enable the proxy communication:
