Add a Security Rule to a Firewall Policy

Security rules contain a set of criteria against which a network packet is matched and then allowed or blocked.

Before you can create a security rule:
The specified source and destination match condition for the traffic consists of lists that you configure in the policy before you construct the rule. You can create a maximum of 10,000 security rules for each policy.
Important

If no match criteria are defined in the security rule (an empty list is specified for the rule), then the rule matches to wildcard ("any") criteria. This behavior applies to all traffic examined in the rule.
