<h1 class="topictitle1">Include files in packet rules</h1>
<div><p>You can activate more than one packet rules file on your system
by using the <strong>Include</strong> feature of the Packet Rules Editor.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Using multiple files makes it much easier for you to work with
your rules. Especially, if you need a large number of rules to control traffic
on multiple interfaces. For example, you may want to use a group of rules
on multiple interfaces. </p>
<p>You can create this group within an individual
file. Instead of rewriting the rules every time you want to use them in other
files, you can include them in the master file. The master file is the file
that can be active at any given time. You only need to use the include feature
to add the rules to your master file. </p>
<p>When creating include files,
you might want to keep your NAT rules for an interface separate from your
filter rules for that interface. However, only one file can be active at
any given time.</p>
<p>When you create a new rules file, you can include any
existing files as part of the new file. Before you do this, you should create
the new filter rules you want to use. Whenever you create a rule, you should
file (group) them by type. This way you do not need to re-create rules that
you have used before. You can just include or remove them as needed. </p>
<p>For
instructions on how to include a file in your rules, use the Packet Rules
Editor online help.</p>
