Add a NAT Policy Rule

NAT Policy Rules use source and destination zones, prefixes, ports and protocols. You can directly add policy rules to a simple NAT stack by clicking a simple NAT stack and then clicking
Add Rule
. For advanced stacks, you have to first select a stack, then a policy set within the stack, and then add policy rules to the policy set.
