Configuring a Packet Gateway Rule Set

If you have defined multiple rules, you can specify the order in which the packet gateway processes the rules by creating a rule set. The packet gateway processes the rules in the order in which you specify them in the rule set. It processes rules as follows:

• If a rule matches the packet, the packet gateway performs the corresponding action and the rule processing stops.
• If no rule matches the packet, processing continues to the next rule in the set. If none of the rules match the packet, the packet is dropped by default.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure a rule set.

1. Create a rule set and specify a name for the rule set.
   [edit services pgcp]
   user@host#edit rule-set pgcp-rule-set-1
2. Add a rule to the rule set.
   [edit services pgcp rule-set pgcp-rule-set-1]
   user@host#set rule pgcp-rule-1
3. (Optional) Add additional rules to the rule set.
   [edit services pgcp rule-set pgcp-rule-set-1]
   user@host#set rule pgcp-rule-2

You can also configure packet gateway rule sets within a service set.
