Managing Rules

Rules establish exceptions to the default firewall policies for certain types of traffic, sources or destinations. Each
rule defines specific criteria. If an incoming packet matches that criteria, the default policy is overridden and the
action defined by the rule is applied.
The following sections describe how to configure and manage rules for a firewall:
• Section 5.17.14.1, "Viewing a List of Rules"
