Can Firewall rule be applied to specific interface?

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement Internet faiover on my UTM8. I'm using 3G connection for backup, so I'm really concerned about ammount of traffic going through my backup interface. So I decided to block not important trafic on this int, but when I got to Firewall rule creation I noticed there is no option to apply this rule to specific interface.
Am I missing somethig? And Firewall rule be assigned to specific interface at all?

Thanks

Hi and welcome aboard,
not when using the automated failover function because all the interfaces in the failover are considered one interface.

Use uplink balancing. Set the weight (wrench icon) of the backup interface to 0. Then you can control the traffic that uses this interface via MultiPath Rules.

Multipath rules are not useful in this case, as you can only set a rule to balance specific traffic over specific interface, but can't completelly disable specific traffic.
What was done to acomplish my goal:
New Poicy Route(route type: gateway route) was added to route all unwanted on backup interface traffic, to default gateway of my primary interface.
