Overriding or Reverting a Security Policy Rule
The default security rules—interzone-default and intrazone-default—have
predefined settings that you can override on a firewall or on Panorama.
If a firewall receives the default rules from a device group, you
can also override the device group settings. The firewall or virtual
system where you perform the override stores a local version of
the rule in its configuration. The settings you can override are
a subset of the full set (the following table lists the subset for
security rules). For details on the default security rules, see Policies
> Security.
To override a rule, select on a firewall or on Panorama.
The Name column displays the inheritance icon (
![]()
) for
rules you can override. Select the rule, click Override,
and edit the settings in the following table.
To revert an overridden rule to its predefined settings or to
the settings pushed from a Panorama device group, select on
a firewall or on Panorama.
The Name column displays the override icon (
![]()
) for
rules that have overridden values. Select the rule, click Revert,
and click Yes to confirm the operation.

Inbound to DMZ, tag specific decryption policies with the words
Decrypt or No-decrypt, or use the name of a specific data center
for policies associated with that location. |
