Add Policies to Your Configuration
To add a firewall or Mobile VPN policy:
- Select Firewall > Firewall Policies or Firewall > Mobile VPN Policies.
The Policies page you selected appears.
- Click Add.
- Expand the list of packet filters and policies to find a protocol or port.
- For firewall policies, select a template and click Add.
For proxy policies, you must also select the Client or Server option from the Proxy action drop-down list.

The Firebox or XTM device includes a default definition for each policy included in the Firebox or XTM device configuration. The default definition consists of settings that are appropriate for most installations. However, you can modify them for your particular business purposes, or if you want to include special policy properties such as Traffic Management actions and operating schedules.
After you add a policy to your configuration, you define rules to:
- Set allowed traffic sources and destinations
- Make filter rules
- Enable or disable the policy
- Configure properties such as Traffic Management, NAT, and logging
For more information on policy configuration, see About Policy Properties.
