Policy Context (Total #)

Displays a list of all from and to zone combinations for the configured policies. The total number of active policies for each context is specified in the Total # field. By default, the policies from the first Zone Context are displayed.

To display policies for a different context, select a zone context and click Filter. Both inactive and active policies appear for each context. However, the Total # field for a context specifies the number of active policies only.

Search

Enables you to search for a particular data in the grid.

Default Policy action

Specifies the action to take for traffic that does not match any of the policies in the context:

  • permit-all—Permit all traffic that does not match a policy.

  • deny-all—Deny all traffic that does not match a policy.

From Zone

Displays the source zone to be used as match criteria for the policy.

To Zone

Displays the destination zone to be used as match criteria for the policy.

Name

Displays the name of the policy.

Source Address

Displays the source addresses to be used as match criteria for the policy. Address sets are resolved to their individual names. (In this case, only the names are given, not the IP addresses).

Destination Address

Displays the destination addresses (or address sets) to be used as match criteria for the policy. Addresses are entered as specified in the destination zone’s address book.

Source Identity

Displays the name of the source identities set for the policy.

To display the value of the source identities, hover the mouse on this field. Unknown source identities are also displayed.

Application

Displays the name of a predefined or custom application signature to be used as match criteria for the policy.

Dynamic App

Displays the dynamic application signatures to be used as match criteria if an application firewall rule set is configured for the policy.

For a network firewall, a dynamic application is not defined.

The rule set appears in two lines. The first line displays the configured dynamic application signatures in the rule set. The second line displays the default dynamic application signature.

If more than two dynamic application signatures are specified for the rule set, hover over the output field to display the full list in a tooltip.

Action

Displays the action portion of the rule set if an application firewall rule set is configured for the policy.

  • permit—Permits access to the network services controlled by the policy. A green background signifies permission.

  • deny—Denies access to the network services controlled by the policy. A red background signifies denial.

The action portion of the rule set appears in two lines. The first line identifies the action to be taken when the traffic matches a dynamic application signature. The second line displays the default action when traffic does not match a dynamic application signature.

NW Services

  • gprs-gtp-profile—Specify a GPRS Tunneling Protocol profile name.

  • idp—Perform intrusion detection and prevention.
