If you use role-based administration:

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.
-
Double-click the firewall policy you want to change.
-
On the Welcome page of the
Firewall Policy wizard, click Advanced firewall policy.
-
Under Configurations, click
Configure next to the location for which you
want to configure the firewall.
- Click the Applications tab.

Select the application in the list, and then click .
-
In the
Application Rules dialog box, click
Edit.

Under
Rule name, type a name for the rule.
The rule name must be unique within the list of rules. Two application rules
cannot have the same name, but two applications can each have a rule with
the same name.
-
Under Select the events the rule will handle, select the
conditions that the connection must match for the rule to apply.
-
Under Select the actions with which the rule will
respond, select either Allow it or
Block it.
-
Do one of the following:
-
To allow other connections to and from the same remote address while the
initial connection exists, select Concurrent
connections.
Note This option is only available for TCP rules, which are stateful by
default.
-
To intelligently allow replies from the remote computer based on the
initial connection, select Stateful
inspection.
Note This option is only available for UDP and IP rules.
Note On Windows 8 and later, these options do not apply as Stateful
inspection is always used and Concurrent
connections are not supported.
-
Under Rule description, click an underlined value. For
example, if you click the Stateful TCP link, the
Select Protocol dialog box
opens.
