<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajbrzajb8c1activatingsd.htm">Deactivate packet rules</a></strong><br />
If you need to make changes to your active packet rules, or you want to activate new rules, you must first deactivate the currently active rules.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajbrzajbz1viewsd.htm">View packet rules</a></strong><br />
View your filter rules before you activate them to verify that they are correct.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajbrzajbx3editingrulessd.htm">Edit packet rules</a></strong><br />
As your network security requirements change, you must edit your rules to ensure that they complement your new security strategy.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajbrzajbz4backsd.htm">Back up packet rules</a></strong><br />
It might not seem necessary, but backing up your packet rules is always a good idea. In the event of a loss, your backups can save you the time and work it will take to re-create your files from scratch.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajbrzajbx4journalssd.htm">Journal and audit packet rules actions</a></strong><br />
Your packet rules includes a journaling feature. Journaling allows you to troubleshoot NAT and filtering problems.</li>
