Enabling and disabling Firewall rules

To enable or disable an existing rule for filtering incoming network traffic, perform the following actions:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

   • If you want to enable a disabled rule, select the check box to the left of the rule name.

     The selected rule is enabled.

   • If you want to disable an enabled rule, clear the check box to the left of the rule name.

     The selected rule is disabled.
