Add Rules

Add Rules

Create Firewall Rules by adding the direction of the packet, Source of the packet, whether Source is to be netted, Destination, whether destination is to be netted, action for that rule, whether the rule is active or inactive, whether it should be logged, should it be assigned any bandwidth queue. The firewall matches policies by searching for a match starting at the top of the policy list and moving down until it finds the first match. You must arrange policies in the policy list from more specific to more general.

Add Rules

For example, the default policy is a very general policy because it matches all connection attempts. When you create exceptions to that policy, you must add them to the policy list above the default policy. No policy below the default policy will ever be matched.
