Firewall

Policy names (246575 269948 293048)

In addition to the Policy ID #, there is now a Policy name field in the policy settings. On upgrading to 5.4, policy names will not be assigned to old policies but when configuring new policies, a unique name must be assigned to the it. Every policy name must be unique for the current VDOM regardless of policy type.

In the GUI, the field for the policy name is the first field on the editing page. In the CLI, the syntax for assigning the policy name is:

config firewall [policy|policy6]

set name <policy_name>

end

The feature can be turned on or off. To turn it off in the CLI:

config system settings

set gui-advance-policy[enable|disable]

end

To turn it off in the GUI, the ability to enable or disable it in the GUI must be enabled in the CLI.It is disabled by default.The syntax is:

 

config system settings

set gui-allow-unamed-policy [enable | disable]

end

Once it has been enabled, the requirement for named passwords can be relaxed by going to System > Feature

Select. Allow Unamed Policies can be found under Additional Features.

 

This setting is VDOM based so if you are running VDOMs you will have to enter the correct VDOM before entering the CLI commnands or turning the feature on or off in the GUI.
