Change the order in which application rules are applied

If you use role-based administration:

  • You must have the Policy setting - firewall right to configure a firewall policy.
  • You cannot edit a policy if it is applied outside your active sub-estate.

For more information, see Managing roles and sub-estates.

Application rules are applied in the order in which they appear from top to bottom in the list of rules.

To change the order in which the application rules are applied:

  1. Double-click the firewall policy you want to change.
  2. On the Welcome page of the Firewall Policy wizard, click Advanced firewall policy.
  3. Under Configurations, click Configure next to the location for which you want to configure the firewall.
  4. Click the Applications tab.
  5. Select the application in the list, and then click Custom.
  6. In the Application Rules dialog box, in the Rule list, click the rule that you want to move up or down in the list.
  7. Click Move Up or Move Down.
