Create Firewall rules that relate to inbound traffic in the inbound traffic Rule Base and rules
that relate to outbound traffic in the outbound traffic Rule Base.
To create a Firewall rule:
1. In the Firewall rule in the Policy tab, right-click the inbound or outbound traffic Action and
select Edit Properties.
2. Click one of the Add Rule icons from above the Rule Base.
3. Fill in the columns of the rule. Right-click in a column to select an option.

checks Firewall rules based on its sequence in the Rule Base. Rules
are enforced from the top to the bottom. The last rule is usually a
Cleanup Rule that says to drop traffic that does not match any of the
previous rules.
