When you disable a rule, it is not disabled until the Security Policy is installed.
The rule remains in the Rule Base, and can be enabled later. This is useful for
testing and troubleshooting firewall issues. To disable rules, follow these steps:
1 Disable all rules suspected of causing the issue.
2 Reinstall your Security Policy.
3 Test to see if disabling rules solves the issue.
4 Enable rules one at a time, to see which rule is causing the issue.
5 Reinstall the Security Policy.
Do not forget to reinstall your Security Policy after
disabling/enabling any rules!
To disable a rule, follow these steps:
1 Right-click the selected rule’s number, and select Disable Rule.
2 Save and install the Security Policy.
When a rule is disabled, a large red “X” is displayed over its rule number.
