#

 

Ordered column of rules within the rule table. You can renumber the rules by reordering, adding, or

 

 

 

 

deleting rules and then clicking Save Changes to complete the renumbering.

 

 

 

 

New rules are added to the end of the ordered column, so you must reorder them if you want to move

 

 

 

 

a new rule to a different position within the ordered list.

 

 

 

 

You cannot reorder the default (catch-all) rule, which remains at the bottom of the rule table.

Click one or more check boxes to select associated rules on which to perform actions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Status

 

(Display only.) Indicates the status of rules within the rule table. The status can be:

 

 

 

 

Enabled—Indicated by a green (or light colored) circle with a white check mark.

 

 

 

 

Disabled—Indicated by a red (or dark colored circle) with a white x.

 

 

 

 

Monitor-only—Indicated by a gray circle with a black i.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Name

 

Unique name for each rule (except the default, catch-all rule). Click a name to edit the associated rule.

 

 

 

 

When you add a new rule, it is given a name in the format Rule-num, where num is the next available

 

 

 

 

consecutive integer.

 

 

 

 

You can edit the name to make it more descriptive. Cisco recommends that you name rules with

 

 

 

 

concatenation of the rule name and the service and policy names.
