Description

 

 

Services

Select the desired Service or application to be covered by this rule. If the desired

 

service or application does not appear in the list, you must define it using the

 

Services menu (see “Adding Customized Services” on page 4-18).

 

 

Action

Select the desired action for outgoing connections covered by this rule:

 

• BLOCK always

 

• BLOCK by schedule, otherwise Allow

 

• ALLOW always

 

• ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block

 

Note: Any outbound traffic which is not blocked by rules you create will be allowed by

 

the Default rule.

 

ALLOW rules are only useful if the traffic is already covered by a BLOCK rule. That

 

is, you wish to allow a subset of traffic that is currently blocked by another rule.

 

 

Select Schedule

Select the desired time schedule (i.e., Schedule1, Schedule2, or Schedule3) that will

 

be used by this rule.

 

• This drop down menu gets activated only when “BLOCK by schedule, otherwise

 

Allow” or “ALLOW by schedule, otherwise Block” is selected as Action.

 

• Use schedule page to configure the time schedules (see “Setting a Schedule to

 

Block or Allow Traffic” on page 4-21).

particular PC.

 

• Address range – If this option is selected, you must enter the start and finish fields.

Database screen to assign PCs to Groups. See “Managing Groups and Hosts” on
