Firewall > Access Rules

SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Each view displays a table of defined network access rules. For example, selecting All Rules
displays all the network access rules for all zones.
Configuring Access Rules for a Zone
To display the Access Rules for a specific zone, select a zone from the Matrix, Drop-down
Boxes, or All Rules view.
The access rules are sorted from the most specific at the top, to less specific at the bottom of
the table. At the bottom of the table is the Any rule. The default access rule is all IP services
except those listed in the Access Rules page. Access rules can be created to override the
behavior of the Any rule; for example, the Any rule allows users on the LAN to access all
Internet services, including NNTP News.
You can change the priority ranking of an access rule by clicking the Arrows icon in the Priority
column. The Change Priority window is displayed. Enter the new priority number (1-10) in the
Priority field, and click OK.
