Order of Precedence for Rules

As you define new rules, they are added to the tables in the Rules table, as shown below:

Figure 4-6: Rules table

For any traffic attempting to pass through the firewall, the packet information is subjected to the rules in the order shown in the Rules table, beginning at the top and proceeding to the default rules at the bottom. In some cases, the order of precedence of two or more rules may be important in determining the disposition of a packet. The Move button allows you to relocate a defined rule to a new position in the table.
