5.2.8.1 Adding Input and Output Rules
The first two sections of the ‘Advanced Filtering’ screen—’Input Rule Sets’ and ‘Output Rule Sets’,
are designed for configuring inbound and outbound traffic respectively. Each section is comprised
of subsets, which can be grouped into three main subjects:
• Initial rules – rules defined here will be applied first, on all gateway devices.
• Network devices rules – rules can be defined per each gateway device.
• Final rules – rules defined here will be applied last, on all gateway devices.
There are numerous rules that are automatically created by the firewall in order to provide
improved security and block harmful attacks.
To add an advanced filtering rule, first choose the traffic direction and the device on which to set
the rule. Then click the appropriate ‘New Entry’ link. The ‘Add Advanced Filter’ screen appears.
