Each rule within a rulebase is automatically numbered and the ordering adjusts as rules are moved or reordered. When filtering rules to find rules that match the specified filter(s), each rule is listed with its number in the context of the complete set of rules in the rulebase and its place in the evaluation order.
On Panorama, pre-rules, post-rules, and default rules are independently numbered. When Panorama pushes rules to a firewall, the rule numbering reflects the hierarchy and evaluation order of shared rules, device group pre-rules, firewall rules, device group post-rules, and default rules. The
Preview Rules
option in Panorama displays an ordered list view of the total number of rules on a firewall.
