Chapter 7: Defining and Customizing Upstream Proxy Policy
48
Defining a Rule in an Upstream Proxy Policy
If you duplicated a policy, it already has the same rules as were found in the original policy. You can
edit these rules. You can also create new rules from scratch.
Â
To define a rule in an Upstream Proxy policy
1. In the Policy tree, expand the policy so that you display its existing rules. For instructions on
displaying the Policy tree, see
Step 1
in the procedure
Defining an Upstream Proxy Policy
.
2. Do any of the following:
• To edit an existing rule, click the rule in the tree, and then in the main pane, click
Edit
.
• To add a rule to a policy that has no rules, or to add a rule to the bottom of the rule list in the
policy, right‐click the policy and choose
Add
Rule
.
• To add a rule directly above an existing rule, right click the existing rule, and select
Insert
Rule
.
The main window displays the Rule Definition screen.
3. Enter a name for the rule.
4. Provide a description of the rule. This description is optional.
5. If the rule has an
Enable
Rule
checkbox, ensure that the checkbox is appropriately selected or
cleared, depending on whether or not the rule should be enabled after being committed.
6. Choose the Action. The only allowed action is
Direct
.
7. Click
Save
.
8. To make triggering of the rule conditional, continue with
Defining Conditions in an Upstream
Proxy Rule
.
9. To define additional rules in this policy, repeat this procedure.
10. If you are ready to distribute and implement the changes in your system devices, click

NOTE:
Rules
in
a
policy
are
checked
sequentially
from
the
top,
and
the
first
rule
to
be
activated
in
a
policy
determines
the
handling
of
the
content.
Therefore,
the
sequential
placement
of
rules
in
a
policy
is
significant.
For
instructions
on
moving
a
rule
within
a
policy,
