Assign Rules to Filter
This section of the Manager lets you add, remove, and prioritize the rules in a filter, and assign Security
Associations to rules that are configured with an Apply IPSec action.
A filter applies its rules to data packets coming through the system, in the order the rules are arranged
on the filter. If a rule matches, the system takes the Action specified in the rule. If not, it applies the next
rule; and so on. If no rule matches, the system takes the Default Action specified in the filter.
The Manager groups applied rules by direction (inbound or outbound), with inbound rules first. You can
prioritize rules only within a direction.
You configure rules on the Configuration | Policy Management | Traffic Management | Rules screens.
Notes:
Rules affect the operation of the filter as soon as you add, remove, or prioritize them. If the filter is being
used by an active interface or group, changes may affect data traffic.
Be careful about adding or changing rules on the Public (Default) filter. You could compromise security.
