Disable, Edit, Clone, or Delete Rules in a Rule Set

Use the following procedure to edit or clone an existing rule that is configured for a rule set. You can also disable a rule if you do not need it active for your currenty policies or rule set. You can delete a rule if you do not need it now or for any future deployment.

Note that you can only edit or clone one rule at a time. You can disable or delete multiple rules simulatneously.

Procedure

Step 1

Navigate to Policies > Security Policies > Rule Sets.

Step 2

Locate the rule set that contains the rule you want to disable, edit, clone, or delete and click the rule set name.

Step 3

Check the checkbox of the standalone rule.

Step 4

Expand the Actions button.

Step 5

Select your actionable item:

  • Disable - This option keeps the rule in the rule set but disables the rule and the configured rule action from affecting traffic.

  • Edit - This option launches the Properties window and allows you to edit the configuration of the rule. Click Save to keep the changes you made.

  • Clone - This option creates a duplicate of the rule and opens the Properties window for you to name the cloned rule, or make any additional changes to the rule's configuration. Click Save to confirm the configuration. Saving a cloned rule automatically adds it to the rule set you are viewing.

  • Delete - This option permanently removes the rule from the rule set. Note that this also removed the rule from the gateway.

Step 6

Click Save Changes to confirm the changes you made to the rule and, indirectly, do the rule set. If you do not want to save the changes, click Cancel. Confirm that losing any changes made to the gateway is OK.
