    If you have Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) enabled and own the PEF license, you can set rules to block peer to peer sharing; including bit torrent.

     

    An example configuration in policy:

     

    ip access-list session block-p2p
       user any app bittorrent deny

       user any appcategory peer-to-peer deny

     

    However, be sure to enable DPI in the Global Firewall settings as well as the individual role.

    Hello,

     

    we have in our company two 7030 controllers and three 7005 controllers. I need blocked P2P and torrent too. DPI is off, when i  turn on DPI, it will appear another menu where i blocked P2P and torrent ? I did not find where i could do it now when DPI is off.

    You have to DPI and restart your controllers, it won't take effect until you restart your controllers. You also have to create access list to block the torrents and P2P.
