Managing packet rules

You can find the specific instructions for these tasks in the Packet Rules Editor online help, unless otherwise noted.

• Deactivating packet rules
  If you need to make changes to your active packet rules, or you want to activate new rules, first deactivate the currently active rules.

• Viewing packet rules
  Before you activate your filter rules, you need to verify that they are correct.

• Editing packet rules
  As your network security requirements change, edit your rules to ensure that they complement your new security strategy.

• Backing up packet rules
  By backing up your packet rules files, you can save your time and work to re-create them in the event of a loss.

• Journaling and auditing packet rules actions by packet rules
  Your packet rules include a journaling feature. Journaling enables you to troubleshoot NAT and filtering problems.
