Firewall
Firewall rules allow or block network traffic to endpoint computers based on connection
information, such as IP addresses, ports, and protocols. There are two types of Firewall rules:
n
Inbound rules - Rules that allow or block incoming network traffic to the endpoint
computer.
n
Outbound rules - Rules that allow or block outgoing network traffic from the endpoint
computer.
Planning Firewall Policy
When you plan a Firewall Policy, think about the security of your network and convenience for
your users. A policy should permit users to work as freely as possible, but also reduce the
threat of attack from malicious third parties.
The defined Actions in the Firewall rules make it easy to create the Firewall policy that you
choose. Select an Action for Inbound traffic and an Action for Outbound traffic. The required
rules are automatically added to the Firewall Inbound and Outbound Rule Bases.
You can add more rules to each Rule Base and edit rules as necessary.
Changes are enforced after the Policy is installed.
