Choosing a Firewall Policy to Enforce

By default, the Firewall policy enforced is the Endpoint Security Firewall Policy Rules.

If your environment had Endpoint Security VPN and then moved to the complete Endpoint Security solution, you might want to continue to use the Desktop Policy from the legacy SmartDashboard that you open from SmartConsole. To learn how to configure a Desktop Policy, see Managing Desktop Firewalls in the Remote Access clients for Windows Administration Guide for your client release.

Select which Firewall policy to enforce:

Action	Description

1. In the SmartEndpoint Policy tab, go the Firewall section of the policy.
2. In the Actions column, select Enforce Desktop Policy from SmartConsole.
3. Install Policy.
