Firewall rules / What is a Custom Rule and a Network Defined Rule

NoName NoName2

Hello,

from another post of mine came the hint which rule differences there are in the XG, if I understood correctly.

What is the difference between these rules in a firewall rule?

What is a user Defined Rule?

What is a network based rule?

How can I create these different rules.
I think I have seen that, but I can no longer find this possibility.

Will this type of rule only become possible in a group.


Greetings and thanks

    Its quite easy: You create a firewall rule. If you select "Match known users" the firewall rule will be convered into a user based firewall rule. 

    Otherwise, it is a standard network based rule, which apply to source, destination service.

    In context of a user based firewall rule, the source will be replaced by the user context in live users. 

    So if you have 192.168.1.1 as a live user, it will be matched against a user based firewall rule, without the need of knowing the matching IP.
