Overview

This guide is a part of the SonicOS collection of administrative guides that describes how to administer and monitor the SonicWall family of firewalls. SonicOS provides the management interface, API (Application Program Interface), and the Command Line Interface (CLI) for firewall configuration. This guide focuses on the SonicOS Rules and Policies. The Rules and Policies features of SonicOS are management tools that allow you to define incoming and outgoing access policies with user authentication while enabling remote management of the firewall. These rules and policies can be configured to allow or deny access between the firewall defined and custom zones.

The rules and policies are categorized for a specific source zone to a destination zone and can be used for both IPV4/IPV6. The priorities of the rules and polices are set based on the zone to which the rule belongs.
