range or port in the fields provided.

Step 3: Specify Action

Select an action for the print server for the addresses and services specified for this rule. Available actions depend on whether IPsec is supported.

●Allow traffic. If IPsec is supported, allow traffic to pass without IPsec protection.

●Drop traffic. Do not process (discard) the specified IP traffic.

●Require traffic to be protected with an IPsec/Firewall policy. If IPsec/Firewall features are supported, you are prompted to select or configure an IPsec template to be applied to the specified IP traffic.

Specify IPsec/Firewall Template

Any prior IPsec templates (for example, for other rules) are listed in the IPsec/Firewall Templates field. Because IPsec templates are network dependent, predefined factory default templates are not supplied.

●If the list is empty, the Create IPsec Template page appears instead, so that you can create a template.

●If a desired IPsec template is not in the list, click New to create a custom template using the Create IPsec Template page.

To view or delete a listed template, select it and click View or Delete as appropriate. After an IPsec template is added to the list and selected, click Next to complete the rule.
