Working With Rules

Rules are applied in the order they are listed. For example, if a rule that blocks all traffic is listed first, followed by a rule that allows all traffic, the Agent blocks all traffic at all times.

7.To enable a rule on the Agent, make sure the check mark appears in the Description column.

General Tab

The General tab is used to provide a name for the rule you are creating, as well as the effect that the rule will have (allowing or blocking traffic).

Rule Description

Functions as the name of the rule, and it should indicate qualities of the rule. For instance, “Rule1” may not be a very good name for a rule, but “Block After 1 AM” would be.

Block this traffic

Denies traffic specified by the rule from accessing your network.

Allow this traffic

Allows traffic specified by the rule from accessing your network.
