<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>
