<h1 class="topictitle1">Add comments in the packet rules</h1>
|

|
|
<div><p>Adding comments about your rules files is a way to record how you
|
||
|
|
intend your rules to work.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>For instance, you might want to record what a particular rule
|
||
|
|
permits or denies. This type of information will save you hours of time in
|
||
|
|
the future. If you ever need to fix a security leak quickly, you will need
|
||
|
|
these comments to jog your memory. You might not have the time to figure out
|
||
|
|
what your rules meant, so use comments generously.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each of the dialogs
|
||
|
|
associated with creating and activating packet rules has a <span class="uicontrol">Description</span> field.
|
||
|
|
This is the field that is reserved for your comments. The system ignores anything
|
||
|
|
you put in this field. You might want to use the comment field at each step
|
||
|
|
of the rule creation process. This can reduce your chance of forgetting to
|
||
|
|
make a significant comment. It is best to make your comments while the process
|
||
|
|
on which you are commenting is still fresh in your mind. However, you can
|
||
|
|
wait until you finish creating all your rules.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For instructions on how
|
||
|
|
to make comments in a rules file, use the Packet Rules Editor online help.</p>
