Cloning a Firewall Policy

Use the cloning feature to create a firewall policy by reusing the settings of an existing firewall policy. Do the following:

  1. In the Cloud Services Portal, go to Manage > Firewalls > Edge Firewalls > Firewall Policies.

  2. Select the policy you would like to clone, and click the Clone button. Selecting more than once policy will disable the button.

  3. Populate the following fields:

    1. Name: Create a name that does not exceed 64 characters in length. Use numbers, any special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters, and even spaces. Start and end the name with any character but not a space. Leading and trailing spaces will be trimmed off automatically.

    2. Description: Enter a description that does not exceed 256 characters in length.

    3. Priority: This field should contain the value inherited from the policy you are cloning. However, the field is modifiable.

  4. Click Next.

  5. In the Firewall Rules tab, examine the rules that have been inherited from the policy you are cloning. To modify the rules, use the Add Rule, Edit, and Remove buttons.

  6. Click Next.

  7. In the Summary tab, review the rule you have created. To make more changes, click Back; otherwise, click Save & Close.
