Figure 16 shows the Firewall Filter Quick Configuration page. This page allows you to view multiple filters and terms on a single page and reorder them by simply clicking up or down arrows. Match conditions and actions are displayed as intuitive icons. You can also search for a filter by name and display a specified number of filters on the page.
In this example, the Firewall Filters Quick Configuration page shows two filters—filter1 and filter2. The expanded filter2 displays three terms. Each term consists of two components—match conditions and actions. The match conditions define the values or fields that the packet must contain to be considered a match. If a packet is a match, the corresponding action is taken. By default, a packet that does not match a firewall filter is discarded. The icons displayed across each term indicate the associated match condition and action:
The order of the terms and filters is important. The routing platform compares a route against the match conditions of each term in a routing policy, starting with the first and moving through the terms in the order in which they are defined, until a match is made. If none of the terms in the policy match the route, the routing platform compares the route against the next policy, and so on, until either an action is taken or the default policy is evaluated. The Firewall Filter Quick Configuration page allows you to reorder terms and filters by clicking up or down arrows and thus simplifies management of complex filters.
