Configure Firewall Rules

To configure firewall rules:

1.Click Firewall Rules from the left navigation pane of the Stateful Firewall Configuration page. This displays the Firewall Rule Configuration page.

When firewall rules are created, they are specified as Allow or Deny rules. When a packet is evaluated, the Deny rules are applied first, then the Allow rules.

2.From the Allow Rule List drop-down menu, optionally select the list of protocols where the rule is allowed. If you do not select an Allow Rule List, you must select a Deny Rule List.

3.From the Deny Rule List drop-down menu, optionally select the list of protocols where the rule is denied. If you do not select a Deny Rule List, you must select an Allow Rule List.

4.Click Create. This expands the Firewall Rule Configuration page to include appropriate fields for the Allow Rule List and Deny Rule List selection.
