Configure Default Firewall RulesNEW!

Before you begin, configure IP and MAC firewall policies using instructions provided in Wireless Firewall and IPv4 ACL Policy. These are required to complete this procedure.

Use this procedure to define default firewall rules. These firewall rules are applied if no Role-specific firewall rules have been specified.

Choose from the following actions:
- If you are in the process of configuring a new Wireless Client Roles policy, proceed to the next step.
- If you want to edit Default Firewall Rules settings go to Policies > Wireless Client Roles and select adjacent to the target policy, then follow the instructions in the steps in this procedure.
Select the Default Firewall Rules tab.
Configure IP Inbound, IP Outbound, MAC Inbound, or MAC Outbound firewall rules, as follows:
1. Select Add to add a rule, or select to delete a rule.
2. Use the drop-down menu to select a pre-configured rule for the Inbound and Outbound IP Firewall Rules Name or MAC Firewall Rules Name fields.
3. Use the spinner control to assign the rule Precedence.
  Rules with the lowest-numbered precedence are always applied first to packets.
After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
1. Select Revert to restore default settings or restore the last saved settings.
  
  Note
  You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.
2. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
  
  Note
  This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
3. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
  
  Note
  
  If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
