Agree with @Matthias Geiser , only use of any filtering in a REVPXY deployment would maybe be the use of BCIS-AS and the Geolocation use if you wanted to restrict by Geolocation association of an incoming request, assuming it was not NAT'd before Edge SWG saw the source.
The note that "SNMPV3 traps don't work" is concerning, is this a Known Issue with that version of SGOS? I'm surprised this wasn't discovered by Engineering on that SGOS version, but I would advise looking to make sure future Release Notes don't have that resolved in a newer version.

Subject: BCWF License Expiry affects
Hi James,
you are right, the BCWF database will not update after the license expiration date. The old database will be used until it expires. If I remember correctly, this is after 30 days. And the DRTR rating service will not work anymore.
Best regards, Matthias

Subject: BCWF License Expiry affects
Hi all,
We ae currently running a project where we have purchased 4 S410's, we are building out 8 virtual machines on these devices, 6 of the virtual machines will directly replace 6 physical Bluecoat devices (Configs ported over) ad 2 VM's will be new devices.
4our physical devices had licenses that were due to expire last year at the end of March, these licenses were extended so that we would have time to move across to the new virtual machines. Unfortunately our order was placed in January 2022 and the hardware was not delivered until September. We started to build the devices and we encountered issue after issue. e.g. unable to pull down application images via proxy, finding out SNMPV3 traps don't work, all of these issues have delayed our project.
We are almost at a stage where we wanted to start adding the VM's into the environment to test, however we have now encountered more issues whilst testing with the SNMP reporting. When we pull one of the PSU's there are no alerts or traps sent. Because of the issues with the alerting the customer doesn't feel conformable with us deploying the VM's until the issue is resolved.
Our issue is now that we are slightly concerned about the licenses on the Physical kit. we do not want to be in a position where this kit stops working and we affect the service for our customer. So we are looking for some clarification if possible.
We have the BCWF service that is showing it is due to expire on the 28th April, the customer is concerned that this is going to have an impact on service. We are currently running a reverse proxy solution so I don't believe that the BCWF is used but I would like some confirmation. If this expires am I correct in thinking this will not stop any services from running? Does the expiry simply mean that the web filter will not be updated?
Any help with this would be appreciated
