Adding a policy
In the “Configure and view the status of policy
filter” screen of the interface for which you want to
set a policy, create a policy (up to 256 policies for
each policy set).
NOTE
• Policies are sequentially processed from the top
of the policy list. The product does not allow the
types of connections that are not registered with the
policy. Therefore, you must create a policy to allow
all connections at the end of the list.
• However, if no policy is created at all, the product
allows all connections.
Tip
When adding a policy, you can also specify a set of
interfaces, addresses, and services as a group. For
more details, refer to “Managing interfaces, addresses,
and services in a group” (page 85).
For more details on the settings, click “Help” on the
setup screen and refer to the description displayed.
