Using Reject

In certain situations the Reject action is recommended instead of the Drop action because a polite
reply is required from NetDefendOS. An example of such a situation is when responding to the
IDENT user identification protocol.

3.5.4. Editing IP rule set Entries

After adding various rules to the rule set editing any line can be achieved in the Web-UI by right
clicking on that line.

A context menu will appear with the following options:

Edit

This allows the contents of the rule to be changed.

Delete

This will remove the rule permanently from the rule set.

Disable/Enable

This allows the rule to be disabled but left in the rule set. While disabled the
rule set line will not effect traffic flow and will appear grayed out in the user
interface. It can be re-enabled at any time.

Move options

The last section of the context menu allows the rule to be moved to a
different position in the rule set and therefore have a different precedence
