Parts of Rules

As opposed to SmartEndpoint GUI, Endpoint Security has a unified Rule Base, which enables the user to view the entire Rule Base at a glance - both inbound and outbound. Both are sections of the same Rule Base.

These are the parts of the Firewall inbound/outbound rules:


Column	Description
#	Rule priority number.
Rule name	Name of the Firewall rule.
Source	Source location of the network traffic. For an outbound rule, the source is always set to the local computer/user/group.
Destination	Destination location of the network traffic. For an inbound rule, the destination is always set to the local computer/user/group.
Service	Network protocol or service used by the traffic.
Action	The action that is done on the traffic that matches the rule - Allow or Block.
Track	The tracking and logging action that is done when traffic matches the rule: Log - Records the rule enforcement in the Endpoint Security Client Log Viewer. Alert - Shows a message on the endpoint computer and records the rule enforcement in the Endpoint Security Client Log Viewer. None - Logs and Alert messages are not created.
