6.6 User-defined Policies
You need some knowledge of packet header types and OSI (Open System Interconnection) to create
your own User-defined rules.
Rule ordering is important as rules are applied in turn. You can order user-defined rules as you wish.
User-defined rules are checked before pre-defined rules.
The total number of pre-defined and user-defined rules allowed on the ZyWALL is 3,000. The total
number of user-defined rules allowed is 128. You can import up to a maximum of 128 rules as long as
the total (pre-defined and user-defined) number of rules does not exceed 3,000. Therefore if you have
2,900 pre-defined rules and 50 user-defined rules, you may only import up to an additional 50 user-
defined rules. If you try to import more than this the import will fail.
User-defined policies of the same name are allowed as the ZyWALL uniquely identifies each user-
defined rule by assigning a (hidden) ID number; however it is recommended you give unique names to
identify each rule more easily.
The ZyWALL cannot check encrypted traffic such as VPN tunnel
traffic. There is a log entry every hour that shows how many
encrypted packets have passed through the ZyWALL in one hour.
Click IDP from the navigation panel and then click the User-defined tab.
