Enabling or disabling a firewall rule

By default, firewall rules are created in a disabled state. You must enable the firewall rule to have it applied to traffic packets.

You can enable or disable a firewall rule in a firewall template or on a CPE device. When you enable or disable a firewall rule in a template, the rule is automatically enabled or disabled on all CPE devices that are using the template.

To enable or disable a firewall rule:

1. Enable or disable a firewall rule in one of the following ways:
   • If you want to enable or disable a firewall rule in a firewall template, go to the SD-WAN → Firewall templates menu section, click the template and in the displayed settings area, select the Rules tab.
   • If you want to enable or disable a firewall rule on a CPE device, go to the SD-WAN → CPE menu section, click the device, and in the displayed settings area, select the Firewall settings → Rules tab and select the Override check box.

   A table of firewall rules is displayed.

2. Click Enable or Disable next to the firewall rule that you want to enable or disable.

   The firewall rule is enabled or disabled.

3. In the upper part of the settings area, click Save to save the settings of the firewall template or CPE device.
