Step 3

Click the FTD tab and select the FDM-managed device whose policy it is you want to edit.

Step 4

In the Management pane on the right, click Policy.

Step 5

Select one or more access control rules you want to move and click Cutin the Actions pane on the right. The selected rules are highlighted in yellow. Note: If you want to cancel your selection, select any rule and click Copy.

Step 6

In the policy where you want to paste the rule(s) you just cut, select the rule that the cut rule(s) should precede or follow and, in the Actions pane, click one of the following options:

  • Paste Before automatically pastes one or more rules above the selected rule, so the cut rules evaluate network traffic before the selected rule.

  • Paste After automatically pastes one or more rules below the selected rule, so the cut rules evaluate network traffic after the selected rule.

The paste operation can be performed multiple times at any required position.

Note

When pasting rules within an FDM-managed device, if a rule with the same name exists, '- Copy' is appended to the original name. If the renamed name also exists, '- Copy n' is appended to the original name. For example, 'rule name - Copy 2'.
