Access Rules

Except for the default rules, all configured access rules are listed in the Access Rules table, and you can set the priority for each custom rule.

If the Access Rules table has multiple pages, select a different page to view from the Jump to drop-down menu. If you want more or fewer entries listed per page, select

adifferent number from the entries per page drop-down menu.

For each access rule, the Access Rules table lists the following:

Priority  The priority of the access rule is displayed, 1 indicating the highest priority. To change its priority, select

adifferent priority from the drop-down menu. (When an access rule is created, the Router automatically assigns a priority; however, you can change the priority after the rule is created.) If there is a conflict between two access rules, then the higher priority rule takes precedence. The default access rules have the lowest priority.

Policy Name  The name of the access rule is displayed.

Enable  The status of the access rule is displayed. To enable or disable a rule, click the Enable check box.

Action  The Action, Allow or Deny, is displayed. Service  The Service is displayed.

Source  The specific Source is displayed. Destination  The specific Destination is displayed.

Time  The time interval to which the access rule applies is displayed.

Day  The days to which the access rule applies is displayed.

Click Edit to edit an access rule, or click the Trash Can icon to delete an access rule.

Click Add New Rule to add new access rules, and the Add a New Access Rule screen appears.
