Consolidated Firewall Mode

Consolidated Firewall Mode allows administrators to create consolidated IPv4 and IPv6 policies from a single interface. This feature saves time in configuring two separate policies for IPv4 and IPv6.

To create a Single Policy table for IPv4 and IPv6 policies:
  1. Go to Policy and Objects > Policy Packages. Click Tools menu and select Display Options.

  2. In the Display Options screen, select IPv4 Policy, IPv6 Policy, and Consolidated IPv4/IPv6 Policy. Click OK to save.

  3. IPv4 and IPv6 policies are shown separately.

  4. Right-click the Policy Package and click Edit.

  5. Switch Consolidated Firewall Mode to ON. Click OK.

  6. IPv4 and IPv6 policies are now shown together in Consolidated IPv4/IPv6 Policy.

  7. Create a new policy. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are configurable in the same policy.
