Shadow
Shadow rules are provided to monitor overlapping rules on a per-rule basis. The Shadow feature displays each rule and reveals all rules that are shadowed by that rule. It also provides a list of rules that are shadowed from the rule. Shadow rules generally indicate a broader rule that matches the criteria, but it is configured above a more specific rule. You can select and view all rules and shadow data for any rule.
For example, rule traffic never matches a second rule that specifically allows say, web-browsing, because all web-browsing applications would have already been allowed by the first rule.
To monitor Shadow rules
-
Navigate to POLICY | Rules and Policies > Shadow.
The Shadow page appears.
- Search for specific rules using the Search feature.
- You can sort the shadowing of previously created Rules and Policies rules by Policy Type. Options include Security Policy, NAT Policy, Route Policy, Decryption Policy, and DoS Policy.
-
You can further sort the Policy Type by first selecting the policy type, in this example, Route Policy, then using the All Rules drop-down menu, select the specific policy you would like to investigate (in the case Route Policy_4).
-
Click the blue naming instance to view additional Route Policy Details.
- To generate an updated list of Shadow policies, click Generate in the top right option bar.
