Firewall rules
This section allows you to enter policies with the related sub-rules for managing the firewall.
In image 36 it is possible to view the different functions of the section which consist of:
- Filter and search.
- Configure a new policy from a .csv file. By clicking on “Import file” it will be possible to load
the previously configured .csv file. - If you do not know how the .csv file should be compiled, you can download an example by
clicking on "Download example". - The “Add policy +” button allows you to insert a new policy with a first rule through a wizard.
- In the table there are two action buttons that allow you to delete or modify a previously inserted policy.

Procedure for inserting a new policy
By selecting the button “Add policy +” (Image 36) a layer will open with the wizard for entering the
policy (Image 37).
You can configure the policy without using the wizard by clicking on "Advanced setup".
In the first step of creating the required fields are:
- Policy name.
- Rule type.
- Action.
The selection of “Rule type” will determine which are the mandatory fields of the next steps.

The “Direction” can be:
- Inbound.
- Outbound.
- Entrambi (Inbound and outbound).

Clicking on the "Confirm" button will save the entered data and the rule will be created. - Eliminate, change or move the already created rules. Clicking on the pencil button will open the editing layer to make changes in the rule (Image 43). Clicking on the "Confirm" button will save the changes.
