Intrusion Defense Firewall 1.2 User's Guide - Trend Micro? Online ...

Options
Alert
Select whether or not this Firewall Rule should trigger an alert when it is triggered. If you only wish this
rule to be active during specific periods, assign a schedule from the drop-down list.
Note that only Firewall Rules whose "Action" is set to "Deny" or "Log Only" can be configured to
trigger an alert. (This is because alerts are triggered by counters which are incremented with data
from log files.)
Schedule
Select whether the Firewall Rule should only be active during a scheduled time.
Firewall Rules that are active only at scheduled times are displayed on the Firewall Rules screen
with a small clock over their icon ( ).
Context
Rule Contexts are a powerful way of implementing different security policies depending on the Computer's
network environment. You will most often use Contexts to create Security Profiles which apply different
Firewall and DPI Rules to Computers (usually mobile laptops) depending on whether that Computer is in
or away from the office.
Contexts are designed to be associated with Firewall and DPI Rules. If the conditions defined in the
Context associated with a Rule are met, the Rule is applied.
To determine a Computer's location, Contexts examine the nature of the Computer's connection to its
domain controller. For more information on Contexts, see Components > Contexts.
For an example of a Security Profile that implements Firewall Rules using Contexts, look at the
properties of the "Windows Mobile laptop" Security Profile.
Assigned To
This tab displays a list of Security Profiles which include this Firewall Rule as well as any Computers to
which this Firewall Rule has been assigned directly. Firewall Rules can be assigned to Security Profiles on
the Security Profiles screen and to Computers on the Computers screen.
