Add Rulesets to a Device from the Device Policy page

Procedure

Step 1

In the navigation pane, click Inventory.

Step 2

Click the Devices tab to locate the device or the Templates tab to locate the model device.

Step 3

Click the FTD tab and select the device you want from the list.

Step 4

In the Management pane on the right, click Policy.

Step 5

Click the button appearing in the upper right corner of the window.

Step 6

Select the rulesets that you want.

Step 7

In the gear icon, select one of the following actions for the system to perform when it determines duplicate names between the rules in the ruleset and the device-specific rules:

  • Fail on conflicting rules (default option): CDO doesn't add the ruleset to the device. You need to manually rename the duplicate rules and then add the ruleset.

  • Rename conflicting rules: CDO renames the conflicting rules present on the device (Local Rules).

Note

If there are no conflicting rules on the selected device, CDO attaches the ruleset to the device without any changes.

Step 8

Click Attach Ruleset. The ruleset gets added to the device based on the priority of the ruleset.

Step 9

Review and deploy the changes you made, or wait and deploy multiple changes at once. If you discard the staged ruleset changes on a device, see Impact of Discarding Staged Ruleset Changes for information.
