Firewall policy order

The firewall policies that you create must be correctly placed in the policy list to be effective. The firewall evaluates a connection request by checking the policy list from the top down, looking for the first policy that matches the source and destination addresses of the packet. Keep these rules in mind:

More specific policies must be placed above more general ones.

Any policy that requires authentication must be placed above any similar policy that does not.

If a user fails authentication, the firewall drops the request and does not check for a match with any of the remaining policies.

If you create a policy that requires authentication for HTTP access to the Internet, you must precede this policy with a policy for unauthenticated access to the appropriate DNS server.

To change the position of the DNS server in the policy list - web-based manager

1Go to Firewall > Policy.

2If necessary, expand the list to view your policies.

3Select the Move To icon beside the DNS policy you created.
