Choosing a Firewall Policy to Enforce
By default, the Firewall policy enforced is the Endpoint Security Firewall Policy Rules.
If your environment had Endpoint Security VPN and then moved to the complete Endpoint
Security solution, you might want to continue to use the Desktop Policy from the legacy
SmartDashboard that you open from SmartConsole. To learn how to configure a Desktop
Policy, see Managing Desktop Firewalls in the Remote Access clients for Windows
Administration Guide for your client release.
