Global Exception Rules

The list of 30 or so default global exception rules appears whenever you create a new firewall policy. You can use the rules to quickly add commonly used UDP and TCP ports to your policy, for example, those used for SMTP, FTP, and HTTP traffic.

All Existing Rules

You can add, modify, or remove unused exception rules from the global list.

New rules and those modified in the Global Exceptions Rules list are available to all new policies. However, if from within a policy, you modify a rule imported from the Global Exception Rules list, that modification will not be applied to the global rule. Likewise, if you modify a rule in the global list, any version of that rule that has been saved in an individual policy will not change.
