Within Smoothwall Firewall pages, you can use sections to break up the list of rules for easier management. Sections don't interfere with the order that Smoothwall Firewall rules are applied. This remains in a top-down order and once a match is found, no further searching is made.
Notes:
- You can only change the section name. This has no impact on the rules within it.
- Once Save is clicked, you can't undo the changes by clicking Cancel.
- You can't delete the Catch-all section.
Procedure
- On the NETWORK menu, under the Firewall submenu, click Firewall rules.
- To add a section at the top of the page, click Add section. To add a section before or after an existing section, place your mouse cursor over the existing section, click Add section and either click Above this section or Below this section.
- Enter a meaningful Name for this section and click Save changes.
- Move this section to the position that you want.
