Clone Reverse Policy

Administrators can now clone a policy in such a way that the Incoming Interface and Outgoing Interface are switched in the newly cloned policy. The Source Address and Destination Address are also switched in the newly cloned policy.

For example, if a policy is configured with the Incoming Interface as port1 and the Outgoing Interface as port2, cloning the policy with Clone Reverse automatically sets the Incoming Interface as port2 and Outgoing Interface as port1.

If a policy is configured with the Source Address as update.microsoft.com and the Destination Address as all, cloning the policy with Clone Reverse automatically sets the Source Address as all and Destination Address as update.microsoft.com.

The original policy remains unchanged.

To Clone Reverse a Policy:
  1. Select a policy and select Clone Reverse from the Edit menu.

  2. The policy is cloned with the Incoming Interface and Outgoing Interface switched with each other. The Source and Destination are also switched with each other.
